brake lever question
Do any of you run or have run TT brake levers at the bottom of a drop bar?

Lol, when I get my new bars next week I'm doing this, but am also connecting them to cross top levers.
gonna look weirder than everything. I'll let you know how it goes, pics if I can.

I normally ride in the drops, but would also like a brake up top. So im going to run inverse levers on each side, ran through cross levers on the top, both front and rear.
I'll let you know how it goes.

My very first bullhorn bar, about four years ago when I was a noob, was set up with levers that faced forward like that. It wasn't very good and it felt strange to have more of the weaker part of my hands on the brake levers instead of gripping the bar. Hoods + cross lever would better, plus more hand positions
