Is this possible? I assume that you would need mtb shifters and an MTB derailleur. Does an MTB derailleur track to a road cassette or would I need to buy a MTB cassette? If I would need to buy a MTB cassette, would this fit on a Chris King road hub? If not, can you put a MTB hub on a cross bike? So many questions, but I sure would love some V brakes.

Thanks in advance,
scott
