Projekt Fixie - Road Bike Track Fixed Gear Handlebar Front Brakeset, 22.2mm / 23.8mm

solid brake set. so much better than the ones that come on so many bikes, pretty surprising for so cheap but works well. ALSO you can set it up in-line with existing brakes on drop bars for example so that you have a brake lever on the flats too. I don't know if that makes sense but you can set it up easily to work in-line with regular road brakes.HOWEVER you do need to make sure it fits right, and is the same mount style as your brakes. If the distance between the fork's mounting hole and your rim's brake surface isnt in the 55-65 range you'll need to find a longer or shorter arm brakeset.

I was worried because I didn't receive installation instructions, but I don't know if the install could have been any easier. I have a Unknown fixie. The install, from opening the packaging and inspecting parts to clipping the excess brake cable and installing the cable end cap, took me 30 minutes. I was worried about having to modify my grip tape to install the handle, but the "latch" is hinged and opened up wide enough for me to just mount over the existing tape. For $15 I couldn't be happier. Looks good and it works. Plus prime shipping.

As you would expect a front bike break, the only thing I can say about this is that it's difficult to attach to your bike if you haven't done it before but simple enough to figure out. Good for experienced bike riders but not for those who are still learning.

To be honest, this brake worked really well at first. Great fit and size for both the brake and lever. But about a week into having it i was adjusting it and the bolt that holds the brake cable stripped, as well as the part that was attached to the brake. As of now, the brake itself is useless and all i can do is use the lever.

I ordered a matching front and rear 22.2 brake kits. The quality is actually pretty good and what's found on pretty much what you'd find on Critical Cycles, 6KU etc. The issue is that they sent one lever that is for a larger diameter bars. I've tried to reach out to see if I can swap out the lever or the appropriate kit, with no response. So now I'm looking into having to purchase a shim just so I can start riding. Not sure if they are discontinuing the kits. Also the boxes are both labeled 22.2mm, which means the order packer was not paying attention.

It arrived a day early and was exactly what the description stated. The only problem was I didn't take into account the new rims and tires I purchased. So of course the brakes don't fit.Will be returning these and looking for larger ones.

Everything works perfectly, and they seem to be quality parts. I was super bummed out that the brake line housing was about 2 inches too short...which meant that I had to go out and buy 18 inches of housing for 10 bucks...the products itself works great, and I would definitely recommend.

The quality of the parts seems fine, but I've not installed it yet because what I got was ready for rear brake installation. The longer cable and housing is no issue-- I have the technology and the know how to trim the housing shorter and install a new ferrule for front brake use. The main issue is that the brake mounting hardware is too short. The bolt is long enough to fit on a rear stay mounting bracket but is too short to mount to my fork crown so I have to buy additional hardware- a longer pivot bolt to mount the caliper for front brake use.
