as per title, can anyone help , thanks
Yes but some are SRAM, Campagnolo and Shimano specific.
Yeah, I used to run Tektro Mini-v with 105 brifters.
Swapped over to canti now and much happier with them.
I run mini-Vs with 105 road levers, but I also use problem solvers. I find this combo gives very good stopping power. Works for me anyway.
Yes but the pads have to run close to the rim which means getting the wheel in/out with a cross tyre fitted can be difficult.
Mine are tektro mini v with 105 5600 brifters , it's with it for no front brake judder IMO.
Tbh you don't really need it on the rear
have run mine (Tektro) with 105 5600 and 5700 - they work great.

Just unclip the pipe surely? never had a problem with mine.
Cheap here, when they say pair, they mean front and rear:-

A couple of these are useful:-

If I run the cable slack enough to pop the pipe out the brakes don't work properly. Perhaps I have different pipes to you. 5700 levers also pull more cable which helps
If you use those adjustable pipes I linked to you can also use that if needed.
Been meaning to order a set of those as that will solve the problem. Just need to find another £18 of stuff on PX now 🙂
thanks guys, very helpful. having fun turning an old titanium mtb frame into a 700 wheeled cx/ adventure race bike
