Check out Tektro RL520 levers. A new road lever for long-pull brakes. Cool stuff.
Of course I do not trust tektro levers at the moment seeing that it was the failure of two lowly tektro cinch bands that caused me to borrow a bike with near slicks for a race on wet grass which resulted in me injuring my shoulder and missing the racing season...
