Brake Levers for Upright/Flat Bar Handlebars

BRL41 Tektro FL750 Levers  

These are beautiful levers! A simple, classic design. All silver. Alloy clamp and lever. Cables and cable housing sold separately.

7/8" (22.2 mm) clamp diameter. Compatible with road caliper and cantilever brakes.

BRL34 Shimano BL-R550 Levers  

Very nicely made Shimano SLR levers, comfortable, effective and good looking. High quality Shimano cables and cable housing included.

7/8" (22.2 mm) clamp diameter. Compatible with road caliper and cantilever brakes.

BRL47 Tektro Adjustable Levers 

These have an adjustment for mechanical advantage, so they work with _all_ types of brakes, including direct-pull ("V-type"), center-pull cantilevers, all types of calipers and drum brakes.

7/8" (22.2 mm) clamp diameter.

BRL57 Origin8 (Tektro) RX 4.1 "Reverse" Levers in Silver 

These attach by expander plugs into the ends of the handlebars. They work with normal-travel calipers or traditional center-pull cantilevers, not with "V Brakes" or other "direct pull" cantilevers.

These work with pretty much any type of upright or bullhorn handlebar.

In most applications, they put the part of the lever with the greatest leverage under you strongest, longest fingers, so they have real ergonomic benefits.
