Current Projects chat and miscellany

How often do experienced cyclists find themselves in situations where they are having to panic brake to the point where they actually forget that only one of their levers is a working one? Honestly?

True, not very often. But when your friends try your bike out, or when your locking it up, the levers do get moved.

Fwiw, I just use a short section of brake cable with wood glue skewered down the brake cable. It's ok. But it does have the advantage of not leaving a cable groove on one side of the bars and not the other...which I find surprisingly annoying.
