They are the road version designed to work with road levers. The mountian version will not unless you use a travel agent.

I'm no expert but my Cannodale Cyclocross bike has Ultegra shifters and Avid mechanical (cable) disk brakes... it stops just fine

Yeah, but don't the mechanical (uses a cable) Avid disc brakes take about the same amount of cable pull as a road lever?
I think Cannondale uses them on their Tandem - STI and Avid mech. disc brake.

If you want to use road levers on a v-brake or linear pull brake you need a travel agent on each one as road levers do not have enough cable pull. The travel agents increase the cable pull by using a cam. The cost is not much and they are relatively easy to install.
