Thanks, Garth, this is helpful. I have the same levers as you, the RX 4.1 for road diameter bar ends. Your response confirms that all of the brake calipers I tried these with levers were likely a poor fit and that the fault of the misfit likely resides with the caliper and not the lever, or with my setup of the calipers, perhaps. I used the tiny Diacompe cantilever (model number escapes me, but 80s production, and inferior to the design of all the cantilevers you mentioned, i.e., not the good 986 diacompe or the NGC cantilevers), universal side pulls (I've now read that these calipers required a good deal of lever pull even by vintage standards), and dura ace center pulls with these levers and had mediocre results. I do like how little real estate they occupy, however, and didn't really want to give up on them for future builds. Best, Leif Chicago
