• I have this locking Resilion brake lever. The clamp is too big for the drop part of the handlebars but it fits on the 25.4mm part. Additionally, the lever seems to sit way too far forward in the brakes off position. Is this lever supposed to be used on flat bars rather than drop bars? I have another early non-locking Resilion lever and it’s the same.

  • You're correct, definitely not intended for drop bars.

    Are you intending to use Resilion cantilevers ? As you see above, I've got some, but they have their problems. I have recently had to pay good money for a secondhand cable - and normally I wouldn't fit a secondhand brake parts at all. Some years ago I had a cable 'professionally' made for the back of a tandem I was using with my children. It failed suddenly (the soldered joint where one cable becomes two) fortunately without causing a crash, but I felt distinctly unhappy about it!
