I feel much less finger, wrist and forearm fatigue with flatbar (i.e. albatross or choco) levers as compared to brifters.
In spite of the fact that the road bike (campy Veloce brifters + caliper brakes) is 10 lbs lighter than my Riv (Albatross bars, cheap levers, cheap/horrible cantis), my hands feel they are done for the day after an hour of downhill ride. That's not a problem I have when I cruise down the same mountain on Appaloosa. The air drag might be a factor too, but more ergonomic brake lever position is a bigger reason as far as I can tell. Squeezing those brifters never feel as comfortable or efficient. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
