As you probably know, Ekar is hydro braking only, so the levers would not work with canti brakes. The set-up is friction shifting with a bar end, interestingly the ekar RD works great with a friction shift set-up. The levers are old gen Athena EPS that I got cheap. I like the ergonomics, and playing with the switches (which do nothing...) while riding is sort of addicting in a fidget toy kind of way
