Review on Alpha Rider Brake Clutch LEVERS by Damion Pasquale

Revainrating 3 out of 5

They will work, but not without some modifications.

I bought these cheap for a bike I'm selling and wanted it to look a little better. I wouldn't use them on a bike I wanted to ride with respect. They look close enough to the 45 year old bent and dirty twisted ones that came off that old Honda, the only problem is the hole where the end of the cable sits isn't deep enough. You can see when I hit the bottom I can't twist the cable where it belongs. There isn't much metal to dig deeper. The drill may be too sharp and the tip may slip before it is deep enough. You'll probably need to use an end mill, which probably not everyone has. So keep that in mind when purchasing so you are not surprised that it will be a quick replacement. You definitely get what you paid for here. Take care. Update: I actually had to go down a good 1/8 inch before the cable twisted where it needed to. The last photo shows how much I pulled out. A regular drill couldn't do this without the tip blowing through the other side, that's near the end mill. Now hopefully I can do the same on the other side without ruining the lever.
