Default Dual cable brake lever

Hi
After installing my 36t sprocket my mb cruises faster
So I needed better brakes
Or a way to activate front+rear brakes with a single lever
I looked for that but found nothing in my city
So I modded a standard lever


Close up


Jose

Not bad! If it works then great. I'm getting a dual pull brake lever myself. Here is the one I'm looking at => Dual Pull Brake Lever "Pulls 2 Cables" NEW NR 13748 - eBay (item 380074870841 end time Nov-20-08 09:45:17 PST)

Trust me, that design is all over the web. One of the reasons we aren't selling it, and the fact that it's not truly universal.

If you buy a real dual pull brake lever, there is a pivoting device inside that evens out the pull between front & rear brakes!!!! (It makes a lot of sense!)
