whats with that 4 levers?
Posted over 11 years ago
I grip the flats of the bars and the hoods with equal frequency, and I'm often riding in pretty heavy traffic. The crosstops make it so I can brake in either hand position.

how did you manage to make both sets of brakes levers work? cable wise?
Posted over 11 years ago
They're designed to run straight through the cable that's already there. All it takes is to set up is a cable cutter to split the housing at the crosstop levers, and a couple extra cables ferrules.
