Hi Jay,
I am also "huge" (6'6", 210 lbs), ride a 21.5 XLM
with V-brakes (Paul Levers). I'm surprised that
you have to squeeze much with the V.B. I used to
have that problem with my canti's, but now I find
that I can lock up with 2-fingers as advertised.
No problem. Are you using long-pull levers?

Anyway, I don't use a booster and have no complaints.
