FWIW, Rene's Shimano R600 levers are regular brake only levers , they
are no different than any mtb or bar end lever in cable pull.
Everyone is just guessing as to what the issue is and all that we can do
without seeing it and feeling it in person. I assume his cabling to the
rear is perfectly clear of all sense of drag, but that also is just an
assumption. It's gotta be perfect first and foremost :) The easiest way to
check is to disconnect the brake yoke and hold it in your left and actuate
the lever with lever in right hand. It ought to be smooth as a hot knife
through butter. If not the housing end needs some refining.
