I thought about it, but I think it would look very crowded. I don't really need to brake from the flats, as ,y hands typically go on the bends and I can easily reach the levers with my ring and pinky fingers with a small shift. The new inverted shape and stem extension make it even easier than before, as I only extend my reach when pedaling hard when I don't need to brake. For more maneuvering or situations when I may need to brake, my hands naturally go a bit rearward of the bends where they reach the levers effortlessly. Since that position is still ahead of the steering axis, the handling is not affected negatively like it was a bit more before this change.
I did think about putting Diacompe Guidonnet levers and ordered a set, but will hold off from doing that change at this time. It just rides so well as it is now... Maybe when it's time to retape the bars, or I get fidgety about it... ;-) On Monday, February 29, 2016, BSWP <ashtab...@gmail.com> wrote: > Rene, have you ever used interrupter levers?
