Question: How do you perfectly align road brake/shift levers on drop bars? What tricks to pro wrenches use.
Put a straight edge on your hoods in the SAME spot, use it to"sight" align/adjust the levers, adjust eye position until the straight edge almost overlaps the edge of your bars, adjust lever placement until the gap between straight edge and the bars is equidistant on both sides/ends
