Hinged brake levers
Are there brake levers that I can take on and off my bars without removing the bar tape? Maybe levers with a hinge of some sort. I have looked around on a few websites and can't seem to find any. If someone could point me in the direction of some, that would be great. Also, a cheap pair would be even better.

Thank you, exactly what I'm looking for. I never realized cross lever brakes were hinged.

Your cog is slipping.
All the ones I've ever seen have been. Tekro, Specialized, Cane Creek, etc.

I think the paul levers are not hinged. As long as you dont get paul's, the others are hinged.

The clamp on the Dirty Harry is so bulky and gross looking.

Do you only need one? I have a few extras lying around with both 24mm and 26mm clamps.

also origin 8 cross levers. they're tektros, but with origin 8 in your face.
also, diacompe has a whole line of those. goldfinger is the same clamp but a one finger lever. it sucks but works.
