i guess i could understand that. i can easily hit the lever from the flat part of my ergo drops and have never had any problems otherwise. God did bless me with some pretty big paws though...

i actually knew a female racer that really wanted campy levers but she couldn't as her right thumb was cut off. she had a good sense of humor about it.
