Two road levers-->one caliper, possible?
I have just a top-mount interrupter lever now and miss hoods for position.
I've been thinking about getting a pair of cane creek or tektro road levers, but was wondring if there is a way to have them both operating the single front caliper?
I figured if there was a way you all might know.

A dude came into my work the other day with a bike with all the controls rigged up to one lever. both brakes were linked to his right brake lever (located on the hood). His rear deraileur was operated by the brifter and the front was done with a bar end shifter. Special needs ya know. Nice gentleman too. If that's possible I don't think your setup is out of the question, if not pretty easy to pull off.

Try working out with one of these if you're having trouble
using just one hand to squeeze the brake.

I believe he's trying to use brakes with hoods instead of a single top mounted cross lever. He wants both of them to operate his single brake so they're both actually doing something instead of having a dummy non-working lever.

I'm in the same situation as the OP...having a single top lever on one of my bikes, but wishing for hoods. I have some Tektro levers on order. I plan on just hacksawing the right lever off, leaving only the hood.
