Ah, those Tektro levers are like the ones I have. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the cable and housing from the brake lever into the handlebar. The only way I can see doing that is to drill a hole in the handlebar near the brake lever. There are no entry holes on the handlebar at present.

I would STRONGLY advise against drilling those particular bars.
That's why I said I'll get the internal cable routing compatible brake levers.

Good, because I've seen those bars fold up.

I've seen regular drop bars with no holes drilled in them break too.

Cheers

I've never seen aluminum drop bars break except in a crash. I'm sure that it has happened since sprinters can put a hell of a load on bars but I haven't seen it.

I've never seen one of these cranks fail:

But that doesn't make it a good idea.

I have seen these drilled cranks fail though not those specific examples. I have also seen the early FSA carbon crank break right in the middle of the off-side arm. If they weren't weaker than you imagine a power meter would not work on them.
