I just got some bullhorn bars for my old schwinn traveler. I am looking for a TT type brake lever that plug into the bar ends. I only need 1 lever and haven't been able to find any locally or online that aren't sold in a pair.

Anyone got a link to where I could get one lever?

no.

buy a pair and suck it up.

maybe sell to a friend or keep it if you want to ever have a rear brake or make your bike look none-weird with just one reverse pull lever.

My LBS offered to just sell me one when I bought my set...I opted for the pair though because I like symmetry.

Tell that to Howard Georgi and Savas Dimopoulos.

CaneCreek 200TTs are symmetrical, so buy a pair, and if you break one, you still have a spare.

bump..still looking if anyone wants to sell me 1 lever. ive been calling around to bike shops and half of them dont know what a TT lever or a reverse pull lever even is. the rest won't sell 1 at a time. if i cant find one, ill just end up buying a pair online.

just buy the pair... you are gonna have to at some point anyways... and if you want, you can slang the left over one and make some money back

they are relatively cheap, so get a pair and offer to sell the spare to the next fellow that poses the very question you came on board asking. You'll be his saviour..

Would those fit bullhorns made from cut off drops?

Wha???

WTF is that and where can I buy a pair?

EDIT: nevermind, tracked them down: http://www.diacompe.com.tw/product_View.asp?nid=801

I want some in black, not silver. Any idea where I can get them?

Buy a pair, and then buy a spare bike to put the other lever on.

Lordy, those Diacompes look janky...bare clamps and red accents and all.
