They'll work great! Better than the original Weinmanns. My wife had one of these on her Bottecchia for many years, with a Universal centerpull. It got mashed up in a crash, or she'd still be using it. Now she's using an Ultegra, which is prettier but doesn't work any better. The Exage has the further virtue of including a QR.
