At risk of veering off topic, I wish some clever producer would figure out a Speedial variable leverage setup for road levers. There's so much variation in brake MA, hand strength, and just personal preference, I think it'd be a killer product. Even moreso now with road discs that could generally use more lever pull. I've ridden all sorts of road setups, and almost all of them had too much MA for my liking.
