the2wheels. these are the ones i use and they have never given me any problems, i have had a few pairs.

btw why do you want stubby ones, unless your brakes are in tip top condition you will be reducing the efficiency of them by only using 2 fingers. same goes for the clutch, unless your cable is super smooth then its going to be tough going.

I fitted shorties to replace my stock ones after an off. Brakes are fine as I only ever used 2 fingers anyway, but the clutch is a different story. Now whilst I'm not denying I've got the wrists and hands of a five year old fairy, my clutch hand hurt constantly in the first week of commuting this year, and is still uncomfortable in stop start traffic.
