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.
