Outrageously good
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"These are the best addition I've made to my cycles.
I've fitted them to all of my road-going cycles and I can't understand why they aren't fitted as standard."

Great second brake lever
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"First time use for CX levers just after my CX conversion, running these with BB7 Road disc brakes and the power is just as good as using the drop levers. Purchased ahead of this years winter for those shirty moments I have full confidence that these will get me out of those type of moments."

Spot on
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"I bought these to fit onto a set of 'bull horn' style bars on my single speed. The hinge fitting made these very easy to install. I did need to buy new cables though.
With their simple no fuss design they are very responsive, easy to adjust and fine tune to get the level of resistance just right. They look nice as well."

"Great value, performance and design - I've put this on my track bike for as a front brake for city riding. Really like the hinged handle bar collar of the brake which allows me to very simply and quickly remove the lever and brake for track use without touching the cable setup - a two minute job to remove or pop back on, job done."

Do the job
Pros: Comfortable
"Shorty levers are either for people doing cross, or for commuters tourers that like to have the brakes at hand when on the tops. These do the job pretty well, there is a nice amount of adjustment for when your brakes start wearing down (easy to do as well so you don't need to even stop).
Make sure you cut the outer cable correctly though,and make sure you wipe out the inside of the lever after rain etc as mine have started getting a little rust coloured patch on the inside. It won't stop them working but it doesn't look so great!"

Sweet street
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable
"Very pleased with the finish and feel of these. The fit up well to my drop bars and gave a good feel with regular caliper brakes. Simple and really nicely finished for a good price."

Wouldn't be without them
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight
"I now have these levers fitted to all my road bikes. No more grabbing for the brakes when riding on the tops, great for group riding and when you want a leisurely ride viewing the countryside.
Straightforward to fit but you do have to make sure the handle bar tape is not too tight if you tape right up to the levers so that everything works smoothly."

Does what it says on the tin
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"The build quality is VERY good - it feels solid and comes well presented. Fitting is very easy I got the medium size and used a shim for my road handlebars.
Works as it should and doesn't add much squishiness to the brakes."
