On my to-be-replaced 'tourer' with drops, the brake levers have additional
levers which means you can operate them with your hands on the top bars. I
wouldnt want to give this up on a new bike (which might be one I buy second
hand) if I go for one with drops.
There was some derogatory comment on these secondary levers (whose name I
forget) a few days ago, but I can't see what the problem is with them.
However, more to the point, I havent seen any new bikes that come with
these. Why not, arent they useful? And can someone remind me of the name for
these "secondary levers" and the makers of whatever is the current
equivalent? Also, how easy would it be to fit these to a s/h bike, is it a
LBS job?
