Clutch and brake levers

[GB.]

Would like some different levers for my challenge, preferably short ones, what fits from other bikes as I can't find any for the challenge?

There are several threads on this subject.

I've searched levers but got nothing definitive

I could do with an adjustable clutch lever too now that I've made the grips fatter it's a stretch.

GB looks like you might be close to me. Think I'm the only xCountry in Norwich.

I'm not in Norwich, but do work in Norwich. Hoping to have mine ready for Easter.

Have a look at v-trek levers on ebay, I've got some on my bike and they are a big improvement over standard.

This is the ad i found. It now shows them as not available, but email the supplier, they are made to order.

And if they are now doing them £40 you get a bargain!

There is another way to tackle this issue of short levers, adjustable or not. Simply put a cutter to them and shorten them that way. Its what I did on my clutch lever, then got Erik to re-attach the ball end to it and had it powder coated. Looks like a new short lever.

Yeah mine have been cut done but no one has put the ball back on, if the ball was on the end if be happy.

Do you know any Ally welding places locally? Its a few minutes work. Am sure they won't charge you much. Then you can just get either a stock replacement lever of find one off fleebay.

Hack them down for everyday riding, and get a cheap pair for MOT day

I've cable tied spares to the frame under the seat
