Great, solid and comfortable!I use them on a singlespeed retro bike build and they are simply amazing. Easy to instal, easy to attach the cable and easy to use.For the price, they are unbeatable.

I bought this initially for a "budget build" and it more than met my expectations. I currently have it paired with Paul Klampers and it works flawlessly. The body is made out of plastic and the levers are made of some kind of alloy. Everything works it pulls great and I would highly recommend checking these levers out. Let's not forget these are brakes only! Get em!

Ottimo prodotto di facile istallazione, resistente e di buona fattura, forse solo un po’ corta come impugnatura ma nulla di che. Istallati sulla mono scatto da strada e vanno benissimo, buona presa delle leve e frenata sicura. Ottimo prodotto per le fascia di prezzo.

Montés sur un vieux VTT pour le convertir en "gravel". Prix accessible, facile à monter, bonne ergonomie, bon grip, quick release, design sobre et moderne. Rien à redire!

Pros:Works.Cheap.Has quick releases built in.Not sloppy, even after lots of miles.Good snap back on release.Good bite on most brakes.Good ergonomics.... for your fingers.No issues with sprinting - they're sturdy, by the standards of a 270lb semi pro sprint monster.The definition of good, basic, brake-only hoods.Cons:Heavy AF for a brake-only lever. The pair are about 1lb! Hanging high off the front, the weight is definitely noticed as it dulls your steering agility.No fine reach adjustments, take it as is in quick release, or non quick release mode, or leave it. No setting in between, which will annoy some people for reasons they can't articulate.Bad ergonomics for the base of your thumbs and the heels of your hand. Why? Because there are big, angular, transition gaps onto bars. It is *not* smooth. The rubber also stops short and leaves this gap open. This will cause cramps in your hands on longer rides over 20 miles if you're 170lbs or less and after about 12 miles if you're 210 or more. Better wrap these up *good*, because long term comfort is a weak point on these.Good choice if you're a rider with a relatively basic bike / commuter bike that you want to have a little more sporty, and, you do less than 15 miles in one trip. Use em this way and you'll love em for a long time.If you found this review helpful, please hit "Helpful".

OMG, I love these brake levers. Have an old Cannondale Touring bike and decided to get wider bars. Then I see these Ergo brake levers and I buy a pair. These were a perfect match with these new bars. The levers have two different positions with a long and a short pull. If you get the wheels very straight and set the levers to short pull you get a response to braking that is wonderful. The levers are off set to make it easier to get your fingers on them quickly and securely. Braking has never been this easy. And riding on the Hoods is wonderful. I don't see how these could get any better. I bought a second pair for my Cannondale racing bike and looks like I need another set of nice bars also.

MUCH better than the cheap "aero" levers/hoods on my entry-level Merax Finiss road bike. I'm still using the original brakes and these somehow give me more braking power which really surprised me. The only thing I was expecting from these was more comfort and I definitely got that too. There are wide enough to not cause big spikes in pressure in one small part of your hand while also having enough of an incline at the end where there's no chance of your hands slipping off the front of them. The actual brake levers themselves are very ergonomic and I can actually stop with them while my hands are on the hoods where I couldn't with my stock hoods/levers. These are definitely easier to reach from the drops as well and provide as much braking power as you can apply with them. The entire pull is great and I'm never uncomfortable or having to force anything at any point during the pull. These looks a lot better too.Overall, I'd completely recommend them to anyone wanting to replace cheap levers or add brake only levers to a fixie bike. Even though these were only $16 at the time of purchase, I'd have bought them for $30.

Someone at Tektro really studied human hands and designed brake levers that feel just right and give your braking power and control.I was restoring vintage Miyata 10 speed and these levers (with new cable set from Jagwire) make the bike feel like brand new high end model.Hoods are very comfortable.Levers are shaped in a wonderful and complex way. The fingers fit just right. The stock picture hardly shows how it is shaped. I am adding my own picture (although in only available bad light) trying to show proportions and shape.Being one of the cheapest in the marked these are probably the best.When installing I ran into the problem trying to put the cable through. After a while I figured out that if I shine a light from the other side the hole for the cable is much easier to locate.This is a product was designed by someone who took his job as an art form and produced with quality materials.Buy with confidence, these are as good or better as any high end lever.For installation make sure you have set of long hex wrenches, I believe it was no 5. No need for fancy bike tool (multi tool is too short for the job), find it in local hardware shop for not too much.Will be buying another pair for my sons bike.

These are short pull brake levers, for center pull, side pull, etc brakes. If you have V brakes you will need long pull levers (Tektro makes a pair identical to this in long pull). Make sure you are ordering the right pair.I was very impressed with these brake levers. I have been using them for 7 months regularly. They wider than older style levers and much more comfortable. The rubber is thick and sturdy. The black finish looks great and has held up very well. The return spring is tight with no play. They look great, work great, and have held up very well. I prefer these levers to the older (thinner) style of road levers (including good levers such as Shimano 105, Ultegra, etc.)I'm sure they are heavier than higher end levers, but if you don't care about shaving off a few grams of weight and want a well priced pair of levers that don't look or feel cheap, these are an excellent buy.
