Soma Sparrow - brake lever options
I tried to fit a reverse lever to my Origin 8 Space Bar but the bar is the size of a mountain bar so the lever was too big.
So I started looking at the Soma Sparrow which says that it is sized for mountain shifters and brakes but TT reverse levers will fit....
Can anyone confirm that a reverse lever actually fits this thing? I'm confused about whats what.

Reverse levers for Soma bars
I fit Tektro reverse levers in the ends of Soma Moustache bars, which Soma also claims fit tt brakes. The brakes came with spacers which I had to grind down with a Dremel for the brakes to fit properly.

Yes, I have sparrow bars and run a tektro reverse lever with no problems. Great bars by the way I really like them.
