Which Brake Levers?

Posted on
  • I'm looking for a set of drop bar brake levers to go on a Langster but need something that's a bit more comfortable on the hoods than my current Cane Creek SCR-5's.

    What's good in the way of levers that doesn't cost a fortune?

  • It's all very personal. For example, I love the small campag 10speed style hoods of those Cane Creeks that you find uncomfortable.

    The SRAM 500 and 900 brake levers get a good rep 'on here' for the shape. Not cheap though.

  • SRAM 500 and 900

    Got both of those and they are lovely.

    They're just gutted Doubletaps, so keep an eye out for broken ones and DIY.

  • I just fitted some TRP brake levers which I found to be very comfortable.

  • Thanks Guys.
    The SRAM levers look pretty good, I had a set of the Double Tap lever on my old CX bike and they were pretty comfortable so I'll keep an eye out for a set.
