Need a brake lever ( far too many hills where i live and love )

Want a red one, completely red. UK based, so cutting down my options...

Like the new BLB levers : but cost sixty spondoolies.

Anyone know of any other choices currently available ?

Thanz in advance,

Cheers... Yes already checked Odyssey. Would it make the brake feel spongy ?
Because I was also looking at the Sputnic... which is also a Bmx pull style lever.

Is it OK to use these on a side pull brake ?

It's fine. The law states you must have a front brake lever attached to your bike, but you don't have to connect it to anything. That would be overkill, and cables are fugly.

Lots of people use dirt harry bmx levers and road sidepulls, they are fine.

Is that a scientific terrific quote ?

These babies come in three flavours of pull lever technology : unbelievable.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
