What's it like using the mtb brake levers instead of road bike brake levers? And how did you get the mtb levers to fit the (road?) drop bars?
I ask because I'm thinking of doing the same thing with some mtb hydraulic disc brakes and On-One Midge bars.
I saw a clip on YouTube (link below) and some chap was doing a similar thing, but also fitting "false" hoods on the bars where you'd normally fit road levers, to give more hand positions. His reasoning was that with wide shallow drop bars you spend most time in the drops anyway. Interesting.
I might try it out this weekend. I have the mtb hydraulic brakeset, and also some cable disc brakes and drop bar brake levers. As the bike is single-speed it shouldn't be too much of a ball-ache to try both out. Personally I'd rather have the hydraulic brakes, it just depends which style of lever suits me better.
