The Trek 950 that I used to have was equipped with Tektro brake
levers that had clamped-on vertical brake lever end extensions which made the brakes accessible when gripping the bar ends. I've looked around quite a bit, but I haven't found anyone selling these extensions, nor does Tektro seem to have them listed on their site. Have they been withdrawn from the market? Is there any substitute? I liked those extensions a lot, and I'd prefer to have another set for the replacement bike that's under construction...but so far, I've come up dry in my searches. Any suggestions? I guess you mean something like these: http://www.firstflightbikes.com/_borders/SpecM2Bar.JPG I also can't find them anywhere for sale, weird, i've seen them on bikes regulary.
