Brake Lever.
Hello,
Im in need of a brake lever for my drop bars I dont want standard road brake levers becuase im only running a front brake. So, i was wondering if any of you kind folks could help me find a MTB style lever to attach up near the stem. I would like it to be a small lever not some guady long thing.
Thanks a bunch,
westyman

if they are road bars you should think of running regular road aero levers (two of them) because of the extra hand position...

Aero levers are really great, and I would consider them for the hand position. Track bars look nice, but unless you can comfortably stay in the drops for an extended period, you may find yourself wishing for a different hand position.

With that statement on the track bars, what are some suggestions for drop bars?
