Jan is absolutely right and it's all just math. The pivot for
non-aero "traditional" brake levers is quite low. Of course, if Jan
said "much harder" then that's a subjective thing. People have been
using non-aero brakelevers for generations, and they've done just fine.
Well, that's true but there's a caveat: they did just fine braking from
the hooks, but not the hoods. That wasn't so popular until after aero
levers came in. And the reason for that change is obvious, once you try
both.
