this is possible, yes?

i'm thinking of getting some of these extension levers designed for cross cycling and using one for the front brake on my fix to replace the road lever.

just want to check that levers like the radius or salsa or tektro can be used by themselves.

thanks!

the salsas are looking good cause they have the hinged clamps.

I use IRD's.....very similar to Salsas. But the Salsas look good with the drilled out levers...
