Any thoughts/data on best aero brake lever(non-di2) have maguras, but don't care for how the rear brake sticks out from the side of the P3. contemplating back to tririgs(smaller) and something like TriMax Aero Brake Levers with adaptor for the aduro bar . prefer something with cable internal to lever/bars. ie no housing on outside of bars at all

Given the extremely small difference in drag between the omegas, and maguras, and given you can route the p3 rear cable more cleanly with maguras, and that braking is so so much better....
you sure you want to do all of this?
probably the 3T levers are the most minimal ones.

you can route tririgs just as cleanly as maguras(cant see how magura is any more clean, both can go in through the top tube). the magura in back sticks way out vs a tririg on my 48cm p3. looks nice if you look at it straight on in the plane perpendicular to the brake calipers, but in the direction the wind blows, not so much.

I dunno, like up front where the wind hits the whole brake there is not even 1 second per K difference.
And the levers, hard to say, it *looks* like a 3T should be an improvement but Cervelo shaped that magura lever, so could be pretty close.

not wanting to give up even 0.5s per k. even 0.25s/k is still 10sec for 40k
will post pics of what I am talking about later
rear brake performance, as we know, is not a limiter this is obvious from a season of use on maguras. rear pads still have plenty of wear to go, the front really needs to be replaced(zipp platinum on CC)

which 3T, Pro or Team :)
Looks like they have good pull per Steve Irwin for use with omegas

I thought the Bontrager XXX Levers were supposed to be super aero?
On the TriRig side of things,
not a P3 here, but the S5 mounts the same front and back.
Rear:
Front w/ housing
Front bare cable

they don't look it, at least not the ones I am thinking about without a smooth front surface
