• I need new brake levers for cut-off drop/bullhorn handlebars (23.8 mm). Anyone got a bargain lying around? Can be old.

    If not I'll just pick up a pair from my LBS (if they have it), but I thought I'd try here first.

  • that my friend, is not a drop handlebar upright lever.

    It it merely a normal ATB brake lever.

    For this I reccomend you sped no money, go out and meet other people who ride bicycles who I am sure would be able to supply you with a set for free.

    Failing that, take em off a broken abanded bike in the street.

  • lenni, PM'd you.

  • It it merely a normal ATB brake lever.

    Probably true. That's what I thought as well - lever is lever. But I need one that fits my bullhorns which have a 23.8mm grip area diameter (as Sheldon Brown tells me, from beyond the grave), not 22.2mm. I know it sounds silly but I bought a pair without caring too much about diameter (the above pictured from chainreactions, advertised as "road") but they wont go over my bar.
