Anybody got any nifty tricks for getting brake levers the same height while on the bike? with the bars off the bike I use the "put it on the table" method, but I don't want to disconnect everything following a recent smack that's moved one of them....

Re:
Section of broom handle or similar on the hoods. If it is parallel to the tops then the levers are the same height. Not an exact science but is how I have always done it!

Re: Re:
Yep, my method also. So long as it's straight and long enough it works fine. Mind you, I can always tell if one is slightly out of kilter just by sitting on the bike with hands on the hoods. Generally (unless it's badly out) a quick tweak is enough to sort it out without affecting the tape wrap.

Just don't go too crazy (unless you're Sean Yates)...
