Default Dia-Compe 287-V levers and side pull brakes

Thanks to people's help, I now know that I picked up a pair of
Dia-Compe 287-V brake levers today.

[omitted]...

Anyone know how they would work with the single pivot side pulls? The
105 brakes are in good shape, and I think that they have more fender
clearance than the RSX dual pivots, so using them has some advantages.


They have less mechanical advantage, so you will need a stronger hand to get
the same braking force at the rim compared to a normal aero lever.
