Update: Thank you all so much for your help. They did turn out to be the
wrong levers, so my LBS switched them out using the Ray "keep the clamp,
switch the levers" Varella trick, and all is good.
Long pull levers sure do make a big difference with V brakes. Haha.
I put drop bars, TRP levers, Dirt Drop stem, Shimano Cantilever brakes, and
wide tires on my Appaloosa.

Bingo! I'm almost certain this will work with same-brand levers. Good call,
Ray!

Before you unwrap your bars, see if the clamps are interchangeable.
You may be able to remove the levers from the clamp and mount your new levers
to the existing clamps.

Darn it Jeremy was right!
Now, I guess I have to un wrap the whole bars and replace the levers and re
wrap?
Ugg.

Detective Till,
If you are correct, I am going to be annoyed at my local bike shop but
not forever, since they take good care of me. And I did such a good job of
wrapping the bars!
I'll check it out tonight... but I think you are right, since I had the
same problem with flat bars a number
Wow...! My money is on what Jeremy is saying Great eye, great
(potential) catch!!

Are the brake levers in the pictures the ones that bottom out? If so, I
think you somehow ended up with wrong levers. Those look like Tektro
RL340's, which are short-pull (caliper/canti) levers:

I do not have any truly current pictures of my Appaloosa but I took a

If you are using the tektro linear pull/V brake drop levers, they shouldn't
bottom out before fully braking the bike. Is it possible that you have the
QR part of the lever set in the "open" position? Otherwise, i think this is
a set up issue, probably at the brakes themselves. how close are the
I don't really like the design of those brakelevers. They curve way in
towards the bar, like they are 'short reach' levers for riders with small
hands. That sacrifices a bunch of additional cable pull that you could
have had. If it were me, I might go look for a pair of Dia Compe 287
levers
There is a product called a "Travel Agent" that increases cable pull. A
friend has them on his LHT, and he has no complaints. You can find install
videos on the inter-web.
