Cool. Thinking about s500s but I also see that they have no return spring. I ride with two brakes so I dont see this as being a problem, but do they use the power of the spring from the brake to return to normal position? Only reason I ask is I don't trust the spring power on my brakes (shimano mini v) to be able to do that!
Bezzin-
Depends how slick your cables are. You can try adding a biro spring in the lever.

Yes they do use the brake spring. No comment on shimano mini v's though; I have trp and the lever return works fine (granted the brake modulation isn't great, but that's to be expected with longer arm mini v's and road levers)

They're more like an old fashioned hood shape. Less flat area for resting the hands on, more of a curved top. As levers they work well, but my hands didn't enjoy them (I ride on the hoods a lot). I ended up getting some mini v brakes and sram s500 levers.
