Sorry if this topic has already been covered - I looked through the forum but couldn’t really find anything on this, specifically.
I just bought the TriRig Alpha One Cockpit (not yet installed on my bike). I am currently running TRP HD-T910 TT Hydraulic brake levers. By design, these levers extend the length of reach forward quit a bit. With my current cockpit set up (aluminum Zipp bars), I was forced to cut the bars down about an inch or so (if memory serves me correctly) in an effort to reel in the overall reach and length of the grip. I am hesitant to do that with the Alpha One bars, should I upgrade my levers down the line. Does anybody have any experience pairing the Alpha One bars to the TRP HD-T910 levers? Or, should I consider new levers right off the bat for this cockpit?
I replaced my TRP brake levers with the Shimano Dura-Ace R9180 levers. I really hated how far out the TRP levers sat, and the plastic covers also got very slippery when covered in sweat. The braking power wasn’t changed after switching to the Dura-Ace levers (I kept the TRP calipers), it was a worthwhile upgrade.
I also had trp and werent nearly as comfortable. as well as trp has to slide over bars and there are diffirent diameters plus you need to cut shorter the reach.
Rever is similar to sram and shimano. good choice and very comfortable.
Cervelo uses those on the p series too
I have her p series cervelo build complete minus brakes and saddle. I purchased the Trp TT brakes and she doesn’t like how they feel on her hand. Now I have to list them for sale.
Plus one for riderever, cheap and great performance with adjustability. Also easy to get to lock screw to tighten and loosen for air travel to limit damage.
