If I'm not mistaken I seem to remember Soma saying something about producing an M-bar but for mountain bike brake levers. It would make sense.
I've done a couple of rides on my Rambouillet with M-bars and it's pretty nice. I did a longish ride yesterday with lots of climbling and did get a little pinky numbness in my right hand. Also, they're not my bar of choice for long fast twisty descents. But for riding around town and shorter rides they're fine. --mike On Sep 5, 6:08 pm, Johnny Alien <johnnyal...@verizon.net> wrote: > I am not sure how I feel about the city brake levers.
