What brake levers would you suggest? What is the best position to locate the brake levers?
Sorry, I've never bought brake levers, just used a bunch of 80s and 90s stock levers you can't really buy anymore.
I like about 1/4" gap between brake levers and shifters and I like my levers pointing almost straight down, maybe about 15° up from 6 o'clock. I like trekking bars run backwards so I have controls on the position with more reach since that's where I ride most. Kinda like this guy's setup but with a brake/shifter gap and I would use a full length grip. I HATE Gripshift's short grips (especially the ones that come with this guy's halfpipe shifters.)
