Aero Brake levers

Where do the cables exit? I'm trying to figure out how some early Campy levers would work on moustache bars. They're the ones that allow you to route the cables both ways. I have to admit that I never got past Super Record.

If you are referring to the levers that can be used either aero or not, then you should see a knockout section on the "inside" of each lever.

I think I get it. You're talking about the area at the top of the picture, Right?. I don't have the levers. I've never even seen them up close. I think I can get a set of those levers much cheaper than I can get new hoods for my SR levers and they're supposed to improve braking a bit.

Correct. The part that is already partially cut. But I don't know why one could not cut their own hole in a different location. I think this is the page of the catalog that is relevant for you.



Now something I don't understand is why you are interested in an aero routing on a mustache bar. Won't the cable be exiting in the correct orientation the non-aero way? Or are you looking for a real clean look? If the latter, then be sure you get the part marked 7263046 (one each lever) as they are essential in an aero application. They can be purchased separately, but they are not cheap.

I'll be using barcons, so I want to minimize the cables as much as possible.

Now I'm lost again. What is this part of which you speak? Your picture didn't work.
