Tektro brakes and levers,
This review is from: Road Bike Brakes - Tektro R556 Long Reach Road Calipers 55-73mm (Misc.)
I am 65 years old and have an old Motobecane Gran Jubile, cira 1972, which I rode in the Fletcher Flyer Century ride year before last, and several since. It's a Rynolds 531 alloy, has a Brooks Pro Saddle with 27" rims, Campy wide flange hubs and Bontranger Hard Case tires. Although it's much heavier, it rides a lot softer than my new full carbon Gary Fisher Cronus. Nice on short and/or not too arobic rides. Problem was the original Grand Comp brakes that, besides not stopping very well (I'm 6' 4" and 200#) were wired backwards from my other 2 bicycles, ie; right lever worked front brake. My bicycle shop recently installed the tektro 556 brakes and levers and I could not be happier with their performance. They stop on a dime and also have an additional release on the lever for ease of dropping the front wheel. This is an important feature if you have rims wider than the standard 23m. Mine were one and 1/4 inch, which is about 32m. They were a bargin for $155 installed.
