I used to have an aerowing with the can creek bar end combo like badtmy but didn't really get along with it. I find myself both on long distance rides and city commutes up on the handlebars, and with the front brake on the end of the bar and my inability to skid i opted for a change.
After a few different set ups i've settled on a narrow flat bar with a dirt harry lever so most of the time my hand's within easy reach of the brake. Just received bar ends which i'm fitting tonight to help me with leverage when climbing...
