I got tired of having to change hand positions when braking. I do not consider it a very safe maneuver with cars zipping by you on the non-bike trail roads around here. I looked over a mountain bike one day and liked the control setup but not the bars. So I went searching for brake levers and found these. I am pleased. I also switched my dropped bars for time trial or cow horn bars and my down tube shifters for thumb shifters. The controls all mount nicely together and I have much quicker access to my brakes than with conventional handles. The cross handles are very secure and offer at least as much brake grip as the conventional handles, if not more.

They snuggle nicely with the thumb shifters without losing use of the adjuster barrels.

Look good, feel good, work good.

Great buy.

I installed these levers on my wife's bike and she loves them. She was not able to brake from the hoods on her brakes and these allow her to brake with no problem. The installation was easy and the brakes are solid with no sponge and no effect on the main brake levers. She is using them with Campagnolo Chorus brakes.

It works as advertised. Tektro products are usually of good value. Very easy to install, feels good in your hand, and looks nice. I am very happy with the product and the merchant as well. shipped on time and arrived quickly.
