Worked pretty well! Definitely a bit of a 'v' shape to rest the hands in between the bar and lever. Great reach to the lever from down in the hooks.

Thas WutImTalkin about!

Looks like it just had a carbon monocoque sandwich for lunch and spat out the disc brakes like a pile of chicken bones by the side of the road!

looking to build up a set of 32h 5800 hubs with NOS Ambrosio Montreal box rims- hoping they hold up to the greater drive-side tension on 11sp rear hub (considering having them professionally built for this reason, maybe Old Spud might be willing

Sure, be happy to.

Memory fades, but from memory Ambrosio Montreal rims were pretty soft. The cost of spokes and labour for a rebuild could be greater than the difference between Montreals and a much more durable rim...

Not IME..not long ago I built a set for local gent who rides them on gravel all the time. Built well with proper spokes, proper tension, they are fine..certainly on par with OpenPros w/o the annoying wedge click..

Don't get that..he's gotta pay for labor and spokes anyway..
