Brake lever options

[Raleighracer]

Hi people, as my build continues I now am beginning to look for brake levers, this is where you come in

They must be short pull suitable for canti levers, not built into the gear shifters and have 2 finger levers :roll:

I used to use some odyssey bmx levers so I'm not afraid of modern kit, but I believe shimano made xt 2 finger brakes? Am I right? If so what part number should I be looking for?

Also I have some shimano lx canti's in black, with shimano lx wrote on them, im guessing you can get xt equivalent models? I think there lateish cantilevers.

EDIT: I'll post a picture of mine soon, unless my poor description means something to anybody :facepalm:

Please help!

Cheers

Are stx rc levers v or canti?

 

[minor_LEGEND]

Canti (I think)

Shimano levers have by far & away the most durable pivots going imo, I never even contemplate using anything else.

They have the changeable power option, help me please!

V type I'm afraid. STX were canti.
