I did a few longish rides (~27 miles, and then 20 miles a few days later), and my wrists were in a lot of pain. Mostly my right hand; which constitutes from the position I use when braking. I spent an hour or so welding up another prototype. I went with a MUCH wider T so I could install the brake lever on it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2709.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2709-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" alt=\"IMG_2709.JPG\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t yet to do more than basic testing, but I already know it needs a slight back angle (like an upside down V).<\/p>\n<p>I also did a more &#8220;traditional&#8221; design, instead of using bar ends. This will allow me to slip the brake over the 22mm handlebar and not have an adapter like I usually use. I didn&#8217;t end up finishing this one..and I want to make it so it rotates amongst the vertical post to control the angle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2710.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2710-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" alt=\"IMG_2710.JPG\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, for reference, my original handlebar (without bar ends):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2711.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_2711-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" alt=\"IMG_2711.JPG\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been doing some more experiments on my V-36 unicycle handlebar.
