>>1090912Those old school brake hoods were used just like modern ones. Obviously modern brifters offer more comfort, and the added shifting is a huge upgrade but you are suppossed to mount old brakes just like modern ones.
>>1089482 is just wrong.
Braking in the hoods is totally doable with them too. Stopping power is a bit lower because you can´t get as much leverage as in the drops, but if your brakes are set up properly it should still be enough.
