Cane Creek SCR-5 "Æro" levers with black hoods BRL27 $42.95

These are super brake levers for road bikes, made by Tektro. These low-friction levers have a high mechanical advantage, and can significantly upgrade the braking performance of an older bike without changing the calipers.

They bear a very strong resemblance to Campagnolo Ergo brake/shift levers, only without the shift mechanism. Riders with large hands tend to find these especially comfy. They're very well made, with resin bodies and cold-forged 6061 aluminum levers, shaped for left/right hand individually.

These levers also include a Campagnolo style quick release button, very handy if you are using them with older calipers that don't incorporate a quick release, or if you are using wide tires that require more clearance than a single quick release can supply.

Cables sold separately.

BRL23 Shimano Tiagra "Æro" levers $44.95

New Model!  BRL44 Cane Creek SCR-5V "Æro" levers for direct-pull ("V-style") brakes $59.95

These have longer cable travel than other drop-bar levers,
and are particularly designed for use with
direct-pull cantilever brakes, such as Shimano V-Brakes ®.

All of the SCR features in a V-Type lever!

Auxiliary ("Cross", "Interrupter") Levers for Drop Bars

Initially marketed primarily for cyclocross, these are also an excellent choice for the touring or long distance cyclist, permitting you to brake from the top part of the handlebar.

Unlike the 1970s extension levers, these don't interfere with the main brake levers. They install in the middle of the cable run.

These can also be used as primary levers without the normal drop bar levers.

BRL52 Cane Creek Crosstop $29.95 Fits 26.0mm handlebars black only.

BRL54 Cane Creek Crosstop "OS" $29.95 Fits 31.8mm "New Oversized" handlebars. Black
