Andrew - Being an old MTB'er my first reaction to hard braking used to be moving as far aft as possible. For that reason, good or bad, I tried out some bar-end brake levers. As I'd never used the hoods of road bike levers successfully as a gripping area I didn't miss them. Braking was surprisingly good. And since it's a singlespeed, as your Quickbeam will be, I never needed to mount bar-end shifters. These were Tektro's.
