Decided to put a pair of Velo Orange Milan bars (a kind of shallow north road ) on my steel road bike to make it a bit more relaxed for city riding

Looking for a pair of break levers to work with dual pivot calipers, considering either Tektro FL750 or Tiagra flat bar levers. Has anyone used either of these or can you suggest a better alternative ?

Thanks

Tiagra flat bar levers are excellent, and they come with Shimano SLR housing n cables, which is also excellent. The shiny silver ones don't look too out of place on vintagey bieks either.

Where did you buy them from? I ordered some from Chain Reaction and they didn't come with cables...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
