I've recently converted to discs on my CX bike so my previous solution is for sale.
For anyone who doesn't know, travel agents allow you to use mtb v-brakes with road brake levers (different cable pull would mean they'd be too spongy otherwise) and also offer the major benefit of removing the need for the v-brake noodle which tends get very draggy once full of mud.
The XT v-brake themselves work brilliantly on a CX bike - lots of power and good feel so that you can actually ride technical stuff properly and they work consistently even in the wet.
The pads currently fitted are approx 50% worn. The additional pad/shoes included are approx 10% worn so you'll get plenty of life for your money too!
So, how much for CX brakes that work? £40 posted
