Road fixed / fixed road

i know nothing about road levers- but considering setting up a pair, possibly with only a front brake, no rear (similar to a number if bikes in this thread)- will the dummy hood/lever flap around if there is no cable in it? thanks!

Depends on the lever, and what steps you take to avoid flappage. Shimano SLR brake levers have a return spring, with everything else you have to make your own by one of the methods described above

described above, in the thread?
you know if the sram 500 have the spring? can’t see anything in the spec sheet. thanks again!

described above, in the thread?

Yes, for example the silicone tape on my S500s reference above, because they don't have internal return springs

I have mine set up like this. It works pretty well but you do have to replace the elastic every couple of years.

I have Cane Creek SCR-5 levers on mine which also have a return spring. No flapping or rattling. Good value for money too. But seem to be discontinued which is a shame

Condor's own SS levers also come with a spring for those who want a non-flappy dummy lever

As do the TRP ss levers, they also have a little button you can press that further slackens off the cable. I can't stop pressing it...

Not all that surprising that if TRP have springs then Condor and Cane Creek do too, they all come from the same Tektro factory 🙂

Have you considered an arkose...

Srs tho don't Evans do a road version in SS? Dolomite or whatever

Ebb.....
Fuck that for the future

With regards to springless brake levers; just tape that fucker up.

I th0ught this looked very sensible https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/327596/#comment14495640

Too big! but yeah. THAT.

My new BJ seems to fit in here.

Lovely!

New to you I imagine? Classy bit of kit!

No, new as in got BJ to build the frame, bought all the parts new including the 7402 NOS levers.

Nice parts on a straight up frame. What’s wheelset made of?

I’d stick SKS quick release thingys on the back mudguard too, saves removing mudguard bolts on a puncture.

DA 7710/Open pro/Sapim DB. I've got some spare SKS snap off things but left them off so it looked cleaner. I only get one or two punctures a year.
