My fool-proof method: eyeball, tighten, install housing, tape bar, ride, discover that one is higher/lower than the other, curse, untape, re-cut housing, re-tape. Repeat as needed.
Actually, that was my old method. My new method, born of desperation, is to measure the levers in various ways -- saddle nose to tip of lever, ground to tip of lever, center of stem clamp to tip of lever, the sit on bike and "feel" them -- until I am reasonably convinced tha they look and feel right, then install housing and tape. Funny: building the Ram -- freewheel, for once -- I took the bike, without thinking, out for a ride up and down my street to get a feel for the brake lever positions. Street is inclined. Cables not hooked up. Was surprised -- and lucky -- with the Fred Flinstone manoeuvre.
