Very bad quality. need to buy some of the best

very poor quality. The axis of the lever is sloppy. The screw cable adjustment assembly is sloppy and almost falls out. The lever adjustment screws are so sloppy that one fell out and was missing for the first 10 minutes and I'm sure the other will do the same. Do not buy. You just have to replace them like I will do.

Pros
  • best in niche
Cons
  • update available

Not universal. Not good support.

Description Universal lever. The pivot point size of 28mm is for cantilever brakes. It will not work with a linear V-brake. Need a size of 36mm, otherwise the lever will not work properly. We missed the return window due to a one day delay with other replacement parts and adjusted the price. It was 9.99 when I put it in my cart but 14.99 when I revisited to buy it.

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Good value for money

Great for a 1993 6 speed Schwinn Cruiser. Ease of installation. Not as well made as the original equipment. The silver tensioner and stop wheel feel like cheap plastic. The chrome cable holder is very thin metal with a poor quality rivet (potential failure point). Definitely a compromise between price and quality, but it works well and I have a second one on hand in case it fails.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • No instructions

Don't buy this - parts and components

The round piece of metal keeps moving and makes a noise every time I hit the brakes. inferior quality. I can't return or exchange as the 30 day return/exchange period has already expired (I had to wait for stock to install the brake lever). I contacted the seller and he sent me a replacement. But when I opened it up, I found that the screw on one of the handles was even uneven. DISCONTINUE FROM THIS PRODUCT.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Reliability

Works like clockwork, easy install

Clicked the lever on the right arm/rear brake of a full size Schwinn aluminum frame, possibly a fifteen year old hybrid bike. Damn. This article did it. Works well, looks good and the price is right. The hardest part is getting the handle off, and after that all you need is a screwdriver, pliers, and a couple of Allen keys. Please make sure your handlebar is the correct diameter before ordering.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • So so

Direct replacement for 8 year old mountain bike

Bought this for my 8 year old mountain bike after it fell and broke one of the plastic brake levers. To install the handles and shifters had to be dismantled. Then carefully pry open the new brake lever with a flathead screwdriver so that it fits over the handlebars. Install and tighten and reinstall the shifters and grips. Replaced both sides to get rid of the other plastic lever. Brake cables connected, adjusted and the brakes work perfectly. The new brake levers are high quality and…

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Unusable features

cost, quality, price. Can't win

The brakes arrived quickly and we sent them in great packaging. Made of all alloys, no plastic parts. Very durable. A good size for my 9 and 11 year old's hands, also ideal for large adult hands. These brakes are larger than the stock brakes on my bikes, but their design ensures they fit any hand size. They do exactly what they advertise in terms of performance. You will never know. The previous plastic failure didn't stand a chance in the same fall. It is difficult if not impossible to beat…

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Good but not great

Plastic to Metal Replacement

I was looking for a set of metal calipers to replace the original plastic base with metal levers that came with my son's bike. This product was so cheap that I decided to try it and compare it to the set that came with his bike, which consisted of metal handlebars but a hard plastic clip. The original brake levers of course broke in the plastic clamp on one of his ghost rides and crashed on the bike rides he loves so much. The metal substitutes have held up well so far. Installation was easy…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Safety
