trailing edge of the handlebar tops to the foremost point of the hoods
Why don't you just collect a range of this measurement, rather than from the leading edge? Would account more for bar angle etc

Because then I have to know which bars people are using too, and look up the dimensions, and guess the extent of any wing shape, and assume the bars are actually made to the dimensions claimed by the manufacturer, and then translate all that into something relevant to the weird bars testers are using rather than the stock bars on normal road bikes 🙂

I'm not bothered about the noise, in fact I welcome it. I just want a feel for the range of values in the real world, and the newest brake lever I own is a first gen SRAM Doubletap, which I know doesn't go forward as much as modern hydro levers.
The background is that CTT is considering a reach limit to eliminate "simulated tribar" positions in the road bike class. The number put forward is 20cm from the trailing edge of the handlebar tops to the foremost point of the hoods, which we know is too short because that's where I'm at with the aforesaid SRAM levers on a bar with no aerofoil on the tops.
