Great brakes for the price.I like the rubber coating, it's comfortable to hold.

These work great for my 80’s mountain bike drop bar conversion but they do have a flaw. Those little silver release pins to make it easier to remove road tires constantly shift side to side making your levers for further to pull. There is also nothing holding them in so if one pops out on a ride (like mine) you better carry a screw or something the same size to jam in there.
Just buy them

These work sweet. Very smooth. It's nice having a set of brake levers that work the way they are supposed to.

Ce sont de bons leviers de freins, aucun doute! Je les utilisent avec des freins Shimano BR-R7000 et tout fonctionne parfaitement! J’ai aussi testé avec succès sur des freins Tektro R315.Les leviers sont confortables, légers et semblent durables — 5000km jusqu’à présent. Ils ont bougé légèrement après quelques centaines de kilomètres, j’ai simplement dû les serrer à nouveau.L’installation est facile, on tire simplement les leviers au maximum pour insérer les câbles de freins. C’est aussi de cette façon qu’on peut les fixer sur le guidon.Pour le prix payé (environ 25$) c’est un excellent achat!À noter qu’il s’agit simplement de leviers pour freins — pour un vélo sans vitesse ou avec leviers de vitesses dédiés. J’ai utilisé du ruban Profile Design sur le guidon.

Other brake levers are pricey! I don't know how these would hold up in a crash. The rubber hoods could be more comfortable, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

These are hands down excellent for the price! They are really good quality and at an unbeatable price. I really like the function that lets you remove the wheel from your bike (it has a little button you can push on each one of them). This feature also helps with tightening your brakes nice and tight!

5/5 on looks4/5 on brake pull action (on return spring)4/5 ease of assembly (cable catch gets a little sticky, otherwise went in well. I highly recommend a flashlight to see the exit channel.)My own stupidity broke the plastic housing that the cable runs through. I forgot to run the brake cable housing into that channel up to where it stops. So the brake cable sliced through it like a hot knife through butter. That is not the product's fault so I am updating my review to reflect it's actual quality. Which is overall, not bad, but the return spring would make it "now we're talking".

The overall look and feel of these levers is very good. I see no reason to doubt these levers will last as long as I need them barring an accident.Comparison with Tektro R200:Plastic Body: The bodies between these two levers are nearly identical. The weight, and hardness (by feel) of the plastic is the same. The hoods fit either lever. The Tektro is slightly more rounded across the top, and while you can feel the difference in a direct comparison both are comfortable.The lever blades: They are similar, but the Tektro is a bit more ergonomic. The Winzip blade has a little less back sweep, so it has a little more cable travel. Where the Tektro lever end continues the forward curve of the lever, the Winzip lever bends backwards giving the lever the appearance that it is shorter.Pins/Axles: The main pivot pin on the Tektro looks like stainless steel. The Winzip has aluminum pins throughout. The cable anchor bushing in the lever has smaller diameter axles that The Tektro. The Tektro has a metal screw as a stop for the return spring on the body, the Winzip has a molded plastic stop that looks like it could brake.Springs: They look about the same between the two levers. Return springs on levers are mostly irrelevant. Most bikes have plenty of spring tension in the calipers to easily pull the levers back to the rest position. If you are relying on the lever springs most likely there is something wrong (friction in your cables, calipers, poor cable path...).One review commented that the levers are a different "brand" than the listing. They do have a different name on them, but they are the Winzip levers. The Winzip logo is molded into the hoods.In the photo's the Tektro lever is on the left, and the Winzip lever is on the right.I will be installing these on our tandem road bike. I will update after I've put some miles on these.Edit 8/20/22:I've had these on our tandem for a year now, and they are working as well as ever. The hoods have started to split along the seam where the mold came together. Not happy about that, but they are still comfortable, and work well. I'll be getting some Tektro hoods for these. It should be noted that the Tektro hoods are also prone to splitting. I just wasn't expecting it in a year.

These levers function just fine. I doubt they will last long, but they do the job.

Product as described. Quality seems good for the price and the rubber has a good feel to it. Price is great and I was able to transform my fixie with straight bars to drop bars easily.

These are pretty nice levers, bought them just for the 22.2 rings, was going to pull the rings off and use 'em on a set of Shimano levers, but these are nice enough to run on the bike...forget the Shimano levers. Way better than what I expected! Try 'em you'll like 'em.
