I'm thinking they used dry ice to cool the break mount and a blowtorch to heat the brake lever. They pinged the break lever on with a rubber mallet and then let everything cool to room temperature.

Shhhh, you are giving all the really good brake lever mounting secrets away.

Perhaps you should try posting them on UK ebay (I'm being semi-serious, sold mine easily).

I use Magura rim brakes (HS66, drop levers) with evo mounts on my touring tandem, but I'm certainly in the minority now.
