5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to improvew ride comfort, March 19, 2007
This review is from: Tektro Road Aero Bicycle Brake Levers, Standard R200 (Misc.)
If your riding an older bike, these are a cheap replacement for you old brake levers that will make a world of difference. They pull the same, but they're so much more comfortable its amazing. And for so little, how can you say no

5.0 out of 5 stars Great levers for little $$, June 5, 2009

This review is from: Tektro Road Aero Bicycle Brake Levers, Standard R200 (Misc.)
An excellent option for those vintage bikes when you can't find the exact model gum hood for the obscure Dia-Compe model. I've tried cheaper (Nashbar) levers, and the quality is poor. These are solid. The quick release option, stolen straight from Campy, is something that every lever should have. My one complaint: I'm a small-hands kind of guy (I know Tektro makes a short-reach version), and the hoods on these are wide. STI-size wide. Much more so than any other brake lever I've used. Buy I won't quibble.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job- A little bulkier than I'm used to, August 5, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tektro Road Aero Bicycle Brake Levers, Standard R200 (Misc.)
I bought these to replace my old Shimano levers because I couldn't find replacement hoods. My old hoods were the consistancy of "silly putty". I read some good reviews on these so bought them. They are plastic bodies, so they are more bulky to compensate for them not being metal. They are pretty good quality, and work well. They are pretty "fat" in my hands and it will take a while to get used to that. Overall, they seem to be pretty good. I've pulled pretty hard on them on hills and no breakage. Actually, the connecting brackets appear to be a little higher quality than my Shimanos. They do look a heck of a lot better than my "silly putty" hoods and now I feel like I'm riding a new bike! (yeah, right....) If you need new hoods or levers, these will work- but be prepared for the fatness....

these brake levers are easy to put on and they are a HUGE inprovement in braking power, accuracy and especially comfort. not to mention nice looking. they even have less friction than my previous levers.

5.0 out of 5 stars tektro road aero bike brakes, August 26, 2008
This review is from: Tektro Road Aero Bicycle Brake Levers, Standard R200 (Misc.)
Good enough for old style bicycles, comparable to Shimano 150 or better. Pairing with brake cable in the sale is a good idea. Of course adding handlebar tape with it would be even better. How about a foam tape rather than just vinyl. MRH
