Break Levers Bottom out Before Caliper Breaks are fully engaged. Any recommendations for your shortest of short pull caliper breaks?
Post Body
As the title suggests, the breaks I have on my bike will bottom out and hit the drops before the calipers are fully engaged. I currently have some generic brand break levers with safety breaks like these ones (purely because I like the look). I'm thinking the calipers may have originally been meant to be used with long pull levers.
My current solution is to squeeze the caliper when I install the break cable so they are already somewhat engaged but that does not feel like a satisfactory thing to do. Can anyone point me in the direction of some really short pull caliper breaks?
