Convert Mountain Bike To Drop Bars for Touring/Monster Cross/Gravel Bike

I show how to install dropbar handlebars and integrated brake shifter levers (brifters) on a mountain bike (with 26" wheels) to build a touring/monster cross/gravel bike. I also change from V-brakes to cantilever brakes for compatibility to the road brakes. And also swap out the mountain front derailleur to a triple road front derailleur. The bike I used for the conversion is a 1998 Cannondale Birkenstock M400. And yeah, I know the wheels need to be trued. I switched from v-brakes to cantilever brakes because cantilever brakes have the same cable pull ratio as road levers. V-brakes require nearly double the amount of cable pull to operate properly and won't work correctly with standard road levers. I did not use Mini V-Brakes as they only work with tires up to about 38mm wide. I could have used a Travel Agent, but they are known to fray the cable with it goes through the pulley. I chose cantilevers. I'd like to point out that manufacturers like Trek and Surly use cantilevers on some of their current bikes. Check out Surly's Long Haul Trucker. Shimano SIS rear derailleurs all have the same cable pull ratio. There is no difference between a road rear derailleur and a mountain bike rear derailleur as far as cable pull ratio (note: 10 speed mountain changed). But Shimano road and mountain front derailleurs have a different cable pull ratio. Since I was switching from mountain shifters to road shifters, I had to change the front derailleur, but not the rear one.
