That's Help Backwards.

What are these called, and more importantly, where can I get these in bulk (like about 20 or so)? I have brake levers, but am short on these suckers.

Brake lever step down ferrules. https://www.ebay.com/itm/23299926431...3ABFBMnpm_qeVh

I've used the ones from this seller and they work well on Dia Compe and Weinmann 144 levers. Bulk pack are available through EBay USA but are a bit pricey.

I call them brake cable lever ferrules, which may or may not be correct. But here are 20 that look pretty close for 10 bucks:. https://www.ebay.com/itm/37452338867...Bk9SR9iPxqnlYQ

Thanks guys. Strange how Amazon completely strikes out on some things, and e-Bay on others.

How many do you need or want? I have a box of small parts and should be lots in the box. Can't get to them for about six weeks, though.

I appreciate the offer, Randy. I should be good now though.

Thanks

Brake boobies. If you go into any shop and ask for a pair they’ll be happy to help you.

Yikes ! those are pricey !
FWIW I can buy as pictured below for 80 cents NZ each locally.
If you want some let me know . The freight could be the killer though?
Maybe old fashioned envelope with stamps ?
Happy to facilitate if required
