• Looking to stick some road levers on my fixed - front brake only but going to fit both for hand positions. Got my eye on the Cane Creek SCR 5 Brake Levers - are these a good choice? will the left side be all floppy? Thanks

  • I initially had tektro something or other levers which had springs, but bought some SRAM S500 from someone on here which have a much nicer hood shape but no spring. I just peeled back the front of the hood and wrapped a bit of black electrical tape around it which holds it in place, really not a problem and worth it for how much nicer it feels.

    Self-amalgamating silicone rubber tape is even better, no sticky glue to get filthy, and it's elastic so you don't pull it off if you accidentally pull the lever.
