Good morning all.
Finishing build of the mongrel bike. I picked up a pair of Shimano R517 calipers from Wiggle for not a lot of cash, particularly when you consider they come with a nice pair of post to post mounts, bolts, etc.
However, will these work fine with either Tektro RL520 or RL340 drop bar levers? I believe so, but just wanted to assess if anyone else has done so.
Thanks in advance.

I would think the 430s will work fine, i used a set on my old bike, with road pull mech discs. They also got used with caliper brakes on a different bike.
Iirc, the 520s are a different cable pull, to work with v brakes.
Edited to add: a quick google confirms that, 430s are the ones you want.
It’s 340, not 430!!
Still early for me.
