Brake levers for bullhorn handlebars
Hey guys so I just received my new single speed
http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/..._al_carb_x.htm and I want to install my bullhorn handlebars http://www.ebay.com/itm/360414021260...ht_1942wt_1270 now I just need to know what type of brake levers do I need. I plan to only have a front brake and this is the one I would like to purchase http://www.ebay.com/itm/Origin8-Mini...ht_1996wt_1270 and if it matters these are the grips I will be using http://www.ebay.com/itm/Origin8-Trac...ht_1943wt_1270 I will be having someone at my local bike shop do all the work I just need to make sure I get all the right parts so I don't have to overpay for them. Also feel free to make suggestions on different brake levers for quality purposes. |
Usually people run the time trial levers that are inserted into your horns. I used the Cane Creek 200 TT brake levers on my Origin8 bullhorn a couple of years ago. But you can go with a different brand of TT brake levers

I got the Tektro TT levers a while ago and love them.

Wait, grips on bullhorns?
Anyway, I personally prefer the TT brake levers + bullhorns setup that came with my bike, but I also came from a road bike background, so this setup is most familiar to me. But, if you like cross levers more than TT levers, that is perfectly fine. Either is a valid option. |
Holy spacers, Batman!

I like the look of barend levers when it has both f/r brakes... With one brake I would prefer the look of one top leverhttp://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=242317
