Cycling Time Trials Regulation 14a

"Brake levers must be secured to the handlebars in such a position as to enable the competitor to readily apply both brakes whilst holding the handlebars at their widest point."

If you want to be CTT legal and maintain easy convertability to a track configuration, a DiaCompe 188 lever plugged into the end of the bar is the way to go. I found the cable run so short with this set up that the cable outer consisted of a couple of V-brake noodles with about 2 inches of straight outer between them

Thanks for pointing that out. I'd rather be braking from the drops anyway.

I take it that Dia Compe lever is much the same as other 'TT brake levers', or is their something particularly unique about it?

Anyone got one going spare?
