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."

Muy simple
Pros: Alta calidad, Buen ajuste
"Es una pieza tan simple que cualquiera podría funcionar. No creo que otras más caras funcionen mucho mejor ni que tampoco ahorren mucho peso."

Great for urban cycling
Pros: Great Value, Good Fit
"Having recently been cut up by mobile phone user on the urban part of my commute to work, I decided to fit these to my Giant SCR1 road bike so that I had better braking control in traffic. Coinciding with a need to fit new brake cables the fitting was simple. A bit of care needs to be taken to ensure the outer cable from the existing brake is cut to the correct length and I had to replacee the bar tape which I was doing anway.
As I am not going to race this bike the extra 90g is far outweighed by the benefit of having control when sat up in traffic. Far better than the old bar levers on touring bikes and well worth the money."

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."

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!"

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."
