Im looking for a single cross lever to put on my track bike, it needs to have a hinge for easy removal. Does anybody have any recomendation, i was looking at the Kore cross levers (but they only come in a pair).

Also for the caliper can you buy just one anywhere? any recomendations? will a Sora one do?

I like my Tektro cross levers. They have a hinge on them to open fully. Also I haven't seen many options available to buy single levers, good luck with that.

I have some forte levers and they are just ok, they feel like they flex a bit more than Id like. As far as calipers go, buy a good one! I had a crap tektro one which I really had to squeeze to get any stopping power, but then I picked up a Dura Ace Caliper on CL and it is phenomenal! sooo much more stopping power, I dont know if it is just the pads or what, but I would get this caliper if I were you. Although ultegra or 105 would probably be just as good...

Will that fit regular sized handlebars? It says 26.0 in size. Aren't most bars 25.4?

Even if you were running 25.4 bars, .6mm won't mean jack to a hinged cyclocross lever.

Most road drops you'll come across are 26.0 though.
