if theyre on drop bars they can be dual function with the sti's still working.0

Can this be done easily?0

They are called interrupter levers and are commonly fitted to CX bikes in the mistaken belief they improve control. For offroad, however they are often too narrow to keep control. They fit inline with the existing levers - you need to remove the handlebar tape and inner brake cable, cut the outer cable at the right point and then refit - a bikeshop will probably charge 30 mins workshop time.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Cheers Monty, i have just started and it didn't feel 'comfortable' holding the bars when i pressed the brake so i might heighten the sti levers and see how that feels. Although i was contemplating putting these brakes on for more control going down hill.0

Try braking from both the hoods and the drops. You might need to adjust the position of the bars and levers to get the best position / comfortable handholds. Some levers have adjusters or shims that allow you to change the bar to lever distance.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

no idea what mine have got, I'm going to have to experiment with allen keys at the weekend! I'll have to see what my levers have to offer.0

Once you're used to it you can brake perfectly adequately from the hoods. I came down Rosedale Chimney yesterday like that :shock:0
