Basically a TT bike with road bars is fine (which was NOT fine for the USAC junior directors)
With that - I don't see the need for brakes with hoods in a TT. The whole thing will be in that IAB (I don't know what those letters stand for) . So I thought I'd get the cross brakes and hide them behind the bend in the bars giving them a wee bit or aero (maybe) benefit. I'd still like the levers pointing back. Then I can route those cables forward into the bars. Right now that TT bike has a Magura hydraulic brakes on front (might move to TriRig), so if anyone knows of an aero low bulk hydraulic Cross Top Lever, I'd like a suggestion.
