Tektro R200A brake levers-recommended!
I just got a set of these from my LBS. $25. Brilliant! Pretty much a Campy
Ergo clone as far as shape. Superb quality for the buck. Highly recommended if you're upgrading a bike with d/t shifters, bar-ends, or a single speed. I'm still dialing in the angle, but I'll post a picture link tomorrow. Same as the Cane Creek SCR-5 lever. The Cane Creek comes in a compact model, something worth exploring even for those with moderate sized paws. Lickbike has them: http://www.lickbike.com/productpage.aspx?PART_NUM_SUB='1348-00' |

The pivots for the levers seem pretty sloppy, but they feel fine in use. The only problem I've encountered is the right hood stretching enough to pop out of the grove in the plastic lever body. Super glue is keeping it in place at the moment. |

pivots and hoods are fine and good here, but the q/r mech does rattle
when braking on rough road. All in all a great buy. If you ride a lot on the hoods and are subbing these for an older fashioned lever, you'll find that the reach is a cm or so greater since the levers are quite a bit larger. Tons of nice ways to ride on them. I like the palms on the hood position which is only comy if you've got them adjusted pretty horizontal and not "jacked up" like some are want to do. |
