Hello everyone,
I am looking for experiences or advice from cyclists with a physical impairment who operate Shimano hydraulic brakes with one hand.
I ride more than 15,000 km per year on a road bike, both domestically and abroad. My bike is equipped with Shimano Ultegra R8070 hydraulic shifters.
Currently, I am using an Outbraker one-to-two (one-hand braking) system to control both brakes with one hand. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing ongoing issues such as pressure loss and the need for frequent bleeding.
I am therefore looking for:
-
alternative technical solutions or adaptations
-
a splitter or combined braking system that allows both hydraulic brakes to be operated with one hand
-
experiences from other riders or contacts with specialists who have worked on similar setups
Any advice, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Paul
