They work as advertised and were easy to install if you know your way around a bike. My single-speed is no longer a drop-bar bike, now it's a practical "city bike" with salvaged bars from an old 3-speed. Works for my pushing-50 wrists and neck. If they looked a little more "retro" and less "MTB" for the same price I'd have given them 5 stars.

Put briefly, these brake levers and cables do what they say on the tin. They install quickly, work as intended, and the levers have a clean, simple look to them. Standard Shimano quality.

If they fit your bars, highly recommended.
