also, having the brakes for emergency use in the horns puts your weight really far forward, so it is much easier to be thrown over the bars. (personal experience speaking here, it was at very low speed too.)

I think the ideal setup would be the TT brakes with inline brakes on the tops, but then the bars are getting busy. FG is about simplicity. In the future I am just sticking with the cross lever bars on top. Although I do like the look of these Sram TT 500 Brake Levers,

so maybe sometime in the future I will go with both. i am such a flip-flopper!!!
