Chris NewbyFraser Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I am thinking of converting my road bike to flat bars and mtb brake levers. Will Deore levers work OK with the pull required for the 105 road brake calipers? I recall that road levers need a thingamajig wheel/pulley whatsit to apply sufficient pull to mtb calipers, but the other way around? Can it work?
Falco Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Yes, I have 2 bikes running like that. One is Deore levers / 105 calipers, the other is Deore levers / Ultegra calipers. Zero problems. No thingamajigs or pulleys necessary.
