Hi Joe,
What I really love about bar end levers is I can activate the brakes
anywhere my hands are on the bar very easily, weather I'm back or forward
on the bars, something I could never do with a standard lever. I can use
them with just my pinkie if needed. I have no desire to ever use standard
mtb levers again ! The standard levers more/less limit you into one way to
use them .. while these offer more leeway. I think the only reason more
people don't use it is they get used to the "standard" way or they prefer
bar-end shifters.
