I really like your set up with redundant brake controls; however, have you checked out
Jones H Bars? They have several hand positions, including spread out over the loop which helps if you encounter numbness. You could definitely use your current interrupter levers on the forward-most position on the front of the loop. I think the only reason I didn't go this route is because my end goal is to get a
Jones LWB so not wanting to put a ton of $ in to my current ride.
My issue is not numbness, it's tenderness, and it has been a slowly progressing problem for more than just biking.
Thanks for suggesting the Jones bar; it does have its fans, and I had considered it along with other trekking bars (mustache, butterfly, bow-tie, etc). But since I knew I had no hand issues on my two drop-bar road bikes, I went with what has been working for me.
As far as the Jones LWB,
have you read bikesnob's take on both the Jones LWB and SWB?
