I'd like to change the brake levers since they are busted. Now that STI brifters are not an option, What do you think about these other ones? And How can I know if they could work with the old center-pull brakes? Thanks.
They will work better. You will have to run the cables under the bar tape since they're aero levers. Your current cables are misrouted in front of the bars anyway.
Since they're aero levers, you can add interrupter levers if you like.
