• The Midge I've fitted to this latest build were last used on a cross-check built up as a on and off road commuter. I love 'em for offering a range of positions but I don't think I use them as they're intended, having them low-ish and riding on the hoods in a bullhorn fashion the majority of the time and really only using the drop sections when it gets gnarly† when the wide stance is perfect.

    † Gnarly for a middle-aged bloke with no bottle.

  • I kinda imagine I'll be riding on the hoods a lot. I don't find it very easy getting my hands to the lever in the drops at the best of times, don't think I'd be wanting risk it off road.

  • Because of their shape, the levers can actually be positioned so you end with a kinda MTB-like setup when you're in the drops—easy to ride with a finger or two covering them—so it's worth experimenting.
