Opinions on Mini V-brakes

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately 40 mm rake would be less than ideal. Also, I think the crown of the Wound-Up fork would look weird on my frame which takes an integrated headset and has a headtube OD of ~45 mm.

I have the RX5 brakes on my cross bike, and I like them a lot. They are (as has been said) unforgiving of wheel trueness. I had to run them with travel agents to get them to work with my wheels. I don't find them too grabby, but I do set them up with a bit of give in the brake lever. I am also using Swisstop pads. They are fine on group rides, and much better than the Tektro cantis I had before.
