Premium Anti-Slip Silicone Brake Handle Sleeve - Ultimate Protection for Road Bikes and MTBs, 2 Pairs (Black) Review

Green ordered, yellow came. It doesn't matter, none of the colors match the color of the bike so they work fine. They give the brakes a nice touch and feel really cool. Oh and there were four in the pack not two so I have a spare pair if they get dirty.

Arrived on time, took less than 5 minutes to install after a few minutes immersion in hot water. Fits my handles perfectly! Good grip, so braking with one finger is not difficult. I am 110% satisfied with this purchase in every respect. I was actually pleasantly surprised to find 2 pairs so I now have an extra set although for such a low price I would be happy with just 1.

I really like it. Initially I only bought to decorate the bike. As others have said they help with the grip, they love the feel in the fingers. Just feels better in my hand. As for the installation, I don't know why people are fighting. A few drops of washing-up liquid, a little water under control, glide straight ahead. Turn the handlebars so that the foot of the brake points down, wipe off or drain the water, done. As you can see in the photo, I also modified them, removed them with no…

My e-bike fell over and the tip of the brake lever broke off as a result of the impact. I filed the edges but they were still a bit rough and didn't match the other lever. I bought these (green to match the logo on my bike) and they were perfect! Installation was a bit tricky at first until I sprayed some WD-40 in and they immediately stood up. You would never notice that any of the levers are missing a tip, and this gave added comfort to the grip. There are four in the set so I have two spares

I'm giving these a 4 star rating because they appear to be of good quality and will no doubt be durable once fitted. My problem is with the installation; I haven't been able to install any of these on Tektro brake levers in my entire life. After about 30 minutes of soapy water, I was only able to advance one of them 40% before it wouldn't move in any direction. I ended up having to cut it off, wasted. Good thing the bag I got came with 4 handles. I might try again if I have a full day to work…

Some reviewers use soapy water to install the grips. I used the tried and true method of installing handlebar grips on bikes, spraying the inside of the brake handle liberally with 70% isopropyl alcohol and spraying the brake handle as well. Isopropyl itself is very "slippery" so the grip can slide without much effort, and the alcohol eventually evaporates and secures the grip. Nice job but to protect the bike's top tube in case the handlebars wobble. This way the crank cover touches the frame…
