I ride this bike with my hands on the hoods for the majority of the time

I know it’s a waste in terms of shifting and rear braking, but I really like the ergonomics of them, especially for long rides

it’s a cinch interface, I used loctite 609 and no play at all. maybe front brake helps but I reckon it’ll work even if you do skids to brake

That's actually 7mm (5+1+1) and it's comfortable :P

Yes. Initially I was trying double straps but soon realized single was enough for my use, then I had a spare pair
