Brake levers
They are supposed to be Bar End Brake levers, flex at the black part, I dont know a lot about them but thought they looked cool and probably weigh less, :D

LOL. Thanks, just wish I knew more about them, The guy i got them from says they pivot at the black rubber part. I wonder if they just slow or if they can actually stop instantly :rolleyes:

they look reallllllly small. maybe its just the picture. but if they are that small then i doubt you'll be stopping quickly. they do look cool though :D

Peter Reid used a similar set of profile brake levers on his bike and he won the Hawaii Ironman this year. So I'd say they work.

I dont think I will be winning any races, hehehe, but I sure hope they stop me when I have some speed built up, should I need to stop of course :D
Thanks
