Looking for some with the following:

* 26.0
* Short reach
* Zero Drop
* Polished Silver
* Accepts bar end brakes.

The Nitto RB-018 is what I would like, but the brakes won't fit.

shim the brake lever.

With what shims? That would be great. I had some CC levers that I sold off that came with shims. Where can I get them separately?

Just guessing but I bet a cut up coke can would work as a shim.

i remember someone else used electric tape as a shim...although i dunno how safe that really is

Coke can shims hold together 40% of my beater. they're better then brazed steel.

tape, can of coke, AND blue locktite

Well, it's not a shim issue. Ben's Cycle says the bend is too sharp for the levers to fit.
