Ever since I put cross levers on my bike I have not once used my areo brakes in any of the ten or so races I've done this year. It's personal preference I guess. I like them so much that I am thinking about putting one on my road bike. Often times while resting in the field I find it more comfortable to be on the tops but it's too dangerous to not be close to a brake.
I do really like the Salsa's so far, but unfortunately they only make them in 31.8mm clamp diameter. Since I want to put them on the non-buldge part of a standard size (25.8mm) road bar, they probably wouldn't work so well. I also like the fact that they have angled cable routing.
Anyone tried the Specialized 05's. They're a different style than any of the others (which more or less look the same, except for Paul's), but they have the angled routing feature.
