I agree that time is an irrelevant factor. Whether to use vintage aluminum
handlebars is a decision each person has to make for themselves. I'm using
several vintage bars and have no plans to replace them.

On Sunday I took a nice 20 mile bike ride on the Los Gatos Creek Trail on
my Betty. At the end of the outbound leg, there are two steep climbs, one

You might want to try mounting the pads closer to the rims as they would be
on a tt/tri-bike, which is primarily what these levers were designed for.
If you compare the arc of mtb and road levers, there is noticeably more air
between the lever and bar, giving you more travel before bottoming
I'll try that, but the pads are already quite close to the rims. On the
flats, they start biting quite early on the travel of the lever. Also,
these levers are designed for cantilever and sidepull brakes, so it's
strange that they wouldn't work.
The other thing I'm going to try, is to raise the
