New brake location on T7

I wanted to relocate my brake lever on my 36er's T7, but to fit it
*below* the "T" wouldn't work-until I found the lever, pictured below!
I got a pair of them for just $15 at my LBS. I like this new location
better for a couple of reasons.

I'm less apt to accidently squeeze the lever when going to grab the
handle. I can now use the same length cable when I get the new coker
handle, since that configuration uses the underside of the saddle for
mounting the lever, instead of the bars. Oh, and I MUCH prefer this
36er to the new Big One I recently had..and sold! Not that there's
anything wrong with it. I think the new coker is a great uni, but I
just prefer my Rockin' Radial!

How do you squeeze the lever in that position? It's not anywhere close
to your hands...

And I have to say, I've never -accidentally- grabbed the lever going
for my handlebar. Is that a common problem?

Haha, no I haven't actually engaged the lever, but have come close a
couple times. I also wondered if the new, lower location would pose any
access problems, but to my surprise, it works out great!

I only use the brake on rare ocassions, but when I want to use it, my
hand seems to find it as naturally as if were mounted under the front
of the saddle, as it is very close to that position. So, no problems.
(I also really like the way it looks now a lot better than before lol!)
