Anyone here using mini v-brakes on their vintage touring bikes / cyclocross bikes? In general I'm ok with the braking I get using early 80's cantilevers, but I do live in a rainy place so having a bit of extra power and the simplicity of v-brakes along with ability to use modern bolt on pads would be a bonus. My main worry is clearance for full fenders. I've toyed with the idea of just using regular v-brakes and a pair of problem solvers to adapt to my drop bar lever pull ratio.
Any experience with either or both scenarios would be much appreciated.
