I have Hayes Disc brakes. I love the brakes, but the shape of the brake levers are not for me. Does anyone have a suggestion regarding a replacement lever that works better? I'd like something that allows for a better one-finger braking technique.

ThanX!!!

Read this thread, down toward the bottom of the first page, some good links for two different type replacement levers.

Very cool - thanX! I went to the LBS today, and ordered a pair of the Gravity Racing Components
MotoS levers. I'll write a review as soon as I get the levers, and put some miles down.

It might be too late, but I have been using the Dangerboy one finger levers. (A Canadian company) They are a nice short one (or two) finger lever. They also offer a two finger and a regular replacement lever. Click on "bike parts" then "fittings" http://www.dangerboyusa.com/dangerboy_bike_parts.htm

ThanX Jekylrider! I did look @ the Dangerboys also, and ended up with the others as my LBS has some experience with them. I have 2 bikes with Hayes brakes, so if I'm not impressed, I'll outfit the other scoot with a set of the Dangerboys! :)
