I am struggling a bit with brake levers.
in the beginnig I was about to use these Dia Compe Quick Release Levers I had in my parts box.
However they non aero levers. And while I kinda dig the look on builds like Tom Farrells Singular Peregrine I know it would annoy me.
So I opted for the Aero version of them. They don't really work with the modern compact shape of Nitto Gravel handlebars... The way the cable exits the levers creates a really tight corner and a lot of friction. So these are going back unfortunately. I like the look of them.
Next up are some TRP RRL-SR levers. They weren't my first choice but they seem to work well with compact drops and they are on offer at Planet X.
