Bar-end ****fters are great on a re***bent with beside-seat steering 
(BSS) - one can ****ft AND brake without changing hand position, without 
  the need for expensive, less reliable brifters.

Braking on a tadpole trike is much stronger than can be achieved on a 
normal single upright bicycle, which is limited to somewhere between 
0.6g and 0.7g before overturning occurs.
