Super helpful and appreciated. I have some RL340 levers being shipped. Which bars are those on the Krapf?

NOthing pretty about them at all in my book.
I tried level with the bars at first but found the current position more comfortable. I'm getting up there in age too and have a damaged joint in the thumb of my left hand from the time that dog wrecked me. I find a lot of the small thin old school brake levers uncomfortable and on most of me vintage bikes they may be the only thing I replace.
The TRP RRL SR's look funky but I've used them on several bikes. The comfort for me is outstanding and the levers are easy to grab and control with my smallish hands. Quick release built into the levers also.
Just my random thoughts... |
