You can't do this (attached) with Crazy Bars unless you have hinged brake
levers. The relaxed hand position is palms at about 45 degrees with thumbs

I've used both, and I can't tell the difference in braking effectiveness,
though perhaps machined tracks means slightly smoother braking, since you
don't have those protruding rim joints -- "thump-thump-thump" -- that
appear, say, on some of my Sun rims. But I'd trade smoothness for a bit

Reparations is a valid topic of political discussion/disagreement, but I think
