  1. I understand the lever ratio is different for dual- than for single-pivot. I have an old pair of
    Modolo brake levers I'd like to use with a set of Campy dual-pivot calipers, Can you advise how this
    will work out?

    higher leverage, less distance. pad clearance tighter than as designed, pad force higher. it should
    work fine assuming the differrence is not too great, I have used a similar arrangement to good
    effect in the past.

    I don't believe the Modolo levers have built in QR. Make sure you carry a pump when you change
    wheels because most likely you would have to deflate the tire.
