I'm having a bit of trouble with my right hand after going over the bars a few months back and landing on it. It seems to be getting aggravated by riding on the drops of my Midge bars, so going to try flat bars and bar-ends for a while.
What sort of brake levers do I need for non-V-brakes ("side-pull"?)? Any recomendations for something cheap and cheerful?

Just a thought - would BMX levers work?

I use my old cantiliver Mountain Bike levers, Dia Comp PC7's. BMX levers would be fine if they are for cantilever brakes.

Own up IR_bandito, what's the real reason you're having trouble with your right hand!

There are specific levers for bars dia comp among others do them but you could use avid speed dial levers as i have before and simply adjust the leverage point.

I use CX suicide levers and they work just fine, have also used Speed dials before

Shimano do an ok lever, R440 or something. Paul Comp do a lovely one for about £6,000 probably
I'd say Shimano if you want 3/4 fingers, Avid if you want 2/2.5 fingers.
