Only item I have not seen mentioned is to make sure your cable housing is not overly long. Best option for efficient transfer of energy is a cable that does not have much room in the housing but still slides easily under pressure. Front brake on right hand is the only way I have ridden for 30 years. Only disadvantage was when I was wrenching I kept reaching for the wrong brake lever when working on someone else's bike on the stand!
