Cane Creek 200TT Reverse Brake Levers

great lever

they work as intended on mine, and my friends fixies bull horns. (I have full brake setups on all my bikes) they work as intended.
just beware of two things:
1. check your internal diameter of your handlebar to make sure they will fit inside
2. i have had a couple pairs of this cane creek lever and the tektro ones and they all took MTB/BMX brake cable ends, which makes changing brake cables not so easy if you arent handy.

Pros: works well, no complains

Cons: none that i am aware of

comfortable and effective

These give plenty of pull to stop my road bike. I dialed in the reach adjustment for smaller hands, and there's still plenty of travel. The cable housing routes easily. They seem like a good design. The manufacturing and material quality is good.

Pros: adjustable reach
good quality
low price

Cons: none

These look great on the end of Nitto bullhorns and have ample pull for my canti brakes. The hardest part of installation was getting the rubber thumb caps off. Flat head screwdriver does the trick.

Pros: - Elegant looks
- Easy install


Cons: None

Excellent Levers

I love these levers and have used them on multiple bike builds. They are very well made and are a must for bullhorn style bars! The cable routes under the grip tape for a slick looking finish that I find so choice. I highly recommend these levers.

PS- Don't buy the carbon ones- they're a waste of money. There are better ways to save weight than in the brake levers.

Pros: Very well built, include shims for different handlebar IDs, under-tape cable routing is SEXY

Cons: None

Very well made levers. They lock securely in place and have almost no play. The end caps make them very comfortable to rest you thumbs on even without wearing gloves.

I have these on my karate monkey because the positioning of flat bars tends to hurt my wrists and I have them connected to Avid BB5 disc brakes, it is the most awesome mountain bike setup I've ever had. I was worried about doing it because I've never seen anyone set up TT levers with disc brakes, but it works beautifully. These babies are super easy to install, and the top cap that hides the mounting bolt is shaped perfectly for my thumbs so when I really need to slam the brakes I've got that extra little bit of leverage. These also seem to be better built than the Tektro ones I had before, lots of snapback in the lever when I let go, no muddiness in them after quite a bit of muddy, and some icy, riding.

Pros: thumb rest great for extra leverage, easy to install, and well-built

Bought these levers to use with bullhorns on my single speed build. Cane Creek is a reputable company that makes great products, and this is no exception. The shims to fit multiple bar ID's is a nice touch. Mount's securely and preforms well.

Pros: Solidly made
Inexpensive
Fits multiple bar ID's
Light weight

Cons: None come to mind

Nice quality, but kind of a pain to set up. Because of the position of the levers, it's hard to insert cable once they're installed, without getting a kink in the line. It would also be nice if the throw of the levers were adjustable. But they work well, and feel solid.
