I want to switch my brakes from the US standard front-on-the-left, I always have on my prior bikes as I'm a lefty, plus a motorcycle rider, but the noodle on the front vbrake is problematic. I've lowered my bars considerably via using a straight instead of a riser bar, and replacing 40mm of spacers with 5mm, plus cut 2cm of each end of the straight bar I used so the end grips would be more comfortable.
