Flat Bar brake levers for Cantilevers
I could do with recommendations/suggestions for brake levers for Cantilever brakes. Most levers I see today are labelled for "V brakes", which take different cable pull to cantilevers. I need to replace a combined brake/shifter on a bike which uses cantilever brakes. I the "good old days", levers came with a two-position coupling for the cable, one for V, the other for cantilever. Do any of the common makers still do those ? Ideally with some reach adjustment as its for a rider with small hands. I'm not totally stuck, I could remove the "good old days" levers from my MTB, fit it with V-specific levers. But would rather not. - Nigel -- Nigel Cliffe, Webmaster at http://www.2mm.org.uk/ |

Nice levers but I've had my money's worth out of them and won't use them again so free to a good home. Ian |
