What size band brake levers do I need for an old (60s) Triumph bicycle? Internet suggests 7/8” but they looked narrower than that with a tape measure and I don’t have verniers at the moment.
Also is there a modern upgrade?

I checked a 60s Raleigh handlebar/stem one piece in my garage and the bars 22.3 mm or 7/8" which is the same as all the MTBs I have too. Any 22 mm brake lever will do but don't use (linear pull) V-brake levers with non cantilever or caliper brakes.
