Brake levers?
What levers are good for a 26.0 diameter bar? I've been looking for brakes but none seem to say what the clamp diameter is... does it make a difference, or will any odd brake work? Thanks

What kind of bars and where do you generally keep your hands?

For flat bars just get either a BMX or MTB brake lever.
