I’ve got Guide RSCs, and other than bleeding, I really like them. However, I have a not insignificant issue in that when the bars spin when I inevitably crash, the master cylinder/hose whacks the top tube 🙁
The levers are way flatter than I like already, so rotating more than they already are is not an option.
Unfortunately, the steerer is too short for me to add any more spacers, and due to stem length, I’m only going to get at most 5mm or so by sticking one with more rise on.
The issue is basically that the Guide lever exits at about 30 degree to the bars. Only realistic solution I can see is to swap out the levers. Other than switching the whole system (Hope Tech3 levers look like they would work well, but I wouldn’t want to use them with the Guide calipers) are there any alternative levers that are compatible with my Guide calipers?
Alternatively, any other cheaper alternatives I’ve missed?!
I don’t want to go to a longer stem, and I don’t want to add too much height to the front end with silly high rise bars (mine are 25mm).
I’ve tried rotating bars to get them as far from the TT as possible, but to no avail.
