… I prefer left/front too as that is the way its always been... I don't like the left/front logic as ... I have more motor control of my right hand then my left.
i assume you meant, "i prefer right/front too" like the dave's blog link you posted?
dddd will appreciate this bit from that blog entry:
"From the 1930s through the 1950s the most popular side-pull brake was the Swiss made Weinmann 500; the caliper arms were opposite to most current side-pulls today... Campagnolo did not come out with a brake set until 1971; when they did, it was opposite to the Weinmann and most other side-pulls of that era. It had the front brake caliper arms on the right. Campagnolo quickly became the brake of choice ... and ... other side-pull manufactures copied the Campagnolo style."
