There’s something to this. I rotated mine up a little bit today, and I already ran them slightly above 45*. Definitely felt good on the long descents on my Codes. I’d had some finger pain where I’d gotten tendinitis previously. This change seems to move the lever into knuckle 2 (closer to palm) vs knuckle 3 where it had been.
Good stuff, thanks for the motivation to try messing with them. Did a huge (for me) ride today, so was a great test. I’m definitely sticking with the flatter levers.
