Tektro Brake Lever question

[Catrin]

I've just put the R100a levers on my new fixie - specifically because of the short reach. I think they are excellent - & very very cheap too! The hood shape is similar to Campag. The hoods themselves are quite long so it's possible you might need a shorter stem to get the reach on the whole bike just right.

Thanks - I will bring this up with my fitter. The stem/something does seem quite long to me. I will see how it handles in the park tomorrow - the trainer is fine but that doesn't really mimic how the bike will handle/feel on pavement I WISH that I had time to ride him today...how can I name him before a real ride!
