i remember it well...we were joking that if we'd closed the doors he'd have won just by running himself against the boards. what he needed was a mechanism to lean that back wheel, it was taking on some serious lateral pressures.

Steeker, how do those TT levers brake compared to regular aer0 levers? The return spring on my levers give a really nice feel.
And oh yeah, I got down to urbane at around 6:30 and they were closed :/ Great. That's why you didn't see me.

Even pumped to 90 or 100 psi I can still feel and visually see the sidwalls of the tire folding over when I'm out of the saddle pedalling hard. They work....but still a little unsettling... like I could rip the tire apart if I bounced off a curb at the wrong angle

the levers were great but I did'nt like the brakes way out there when racing around in the core that's why I changed them inboard for quiker braking times on those old steel rims

Around $39 shipped.
How much do those TT levers run for around?

I'm always fascinated by people riding ss brakeless. I followed a guy briefly today who seemed to be riding fixed until he coasted through an intersection. Very interesting.
