Excellent Brake Levers At A Great Price
These are short pull brake levers, for center pull, side pull, etc brakes. If you have V brakes you will need long pull levers (Tektro makes a pair identical to this in long pull). Make sure you are ordering the right pair.I was very impressed with these brake levers. I have been using them for 7 months regularly. They wider than older style levers and much more comfortable. The rubber is thick and sturdy. The black finish looks great and has held up very well. The return spring is tight with no play. They look great, work great, and have held up very well. I prefer these levers to the older (thinner) style of road levers (including good levers such as Shimano 105, Ultegra, etc.)I'm sure they are heavier than higher end levers, but if you don't care about shaving off a few grams of weight and want a well priced pair of levers that don't look or feel cheap, these are an excellent buy.

Great levers and the price is even better
Great product. The price is good and the quality is great. Cable routing is easy and threading the cables is easier than “large brand” brake levers. Mounting to the bars is easy and standard.Riding with the levers have a thin feel as compared to a brake/shift lever when on the hoods. The bottom of the brake lever (using in the drops) have a thinner feel than some brake lever however the reach and fit are good.There is a brake release button on the levers to open the brake calipers for wheel changes.

You will look forward to braking!
Someone at Tektro really studied human hands and designed brake levers that feel just right and give your braking power and control.I was restoring vintage Miyata 10 speed and these levers (with new cable set from Jagwire) make the bike feel like brand new high end model.Hoods are very comfortable.Levers are shaped in a wonderful and complex way. The fingers fit just right. The stock picture hardly shows how it is shaped. I am adding my own picture (although in only available bad light) trying to show proportions and shape.Being one of the cheapest in the marked these are probably the best.When installing I ran into the problem trying to put the cable through. After a while I figured out that if I shine a light from the other side the hole for the cable is much easier to locate.This is a product was designed by someone who took his job as an art form and produced with quality materials.Buy with confidence, these are as good or better as any high end lever.For installation make sure you have set of long hex wrenches, I believe it was no 5. No need for fancy bike tool (multi tool is too short for the job), find it in local hardware shop for not too much.Will be buying another pair for my sons bike.

Sturdy with basic features. Not too fancy. Heavy and a little uncomfy.
Pros:Works.Cheap.Has quick releases built in.Not sloppy, even after lots of miles.Good snap back on release.Good bite on most brakes.Good ergonomics.... for your fingers.No issues with sprinting - they're sturdy, by the standards of a 270lb semi pro sprint monster.The definition of good, basic, brake-only hoods.Cons:Heavy AF for a brake-only lever. The pair are about 1lb! Hanging high off the front, the weight is definitely noticed as it dulls your steering agility.No fine reach adjustments, take it as is in quick release, or non quick release mode, or leave it. No setting in between, which will annoy some people for reasons they can't articulate.Bad ergonomics for the base of your thumbs and the heels of your hand. Why? Because there are big, angular, transition gaps onto bars. It is *not* smooth. The rubber also stops short and leaves this gap open. This will cause cramps in your hands on longer rides over 20 miles if you're 170lbs or less and after about 12 miles if you're 210 or more. Better wrap these up *good*, because long term comfort is a weak point on these.Good choice if you're a rider with a relatively basic bike / commuter bike that you want to have a little more sporty, and, you do less than 15 miles in one trip. Use em this way and you'll love em for a long time.If you found this review helpful, please hit "Helpful".

great product at a great price
You can't beat these for the price. Super easy to install also. If you have never put levers on, with a few YouTube videos you will be confident enough to tackle this job instead of throwing money at the bike shop. The levers feel good and have a sturdiness about them. I have bought these before and have never had a problem with them at all.

Most bang for your buck.
First time trying out Tektro and they did not disappoint.Product is well built; brake levers are smooth and pleasant to use.I love the look and looks expensive.Definitely will check them out for future purchases.

Works great! Pleasantly surprised!
I bought this initially for a "budget build" and it more than met my expectations. I currently have it paired with Paul Klampers and it works flawlessly. The body is made out of plastic and the levers are made of some kind of alloy. Everything works it pulls great and I would highly recommend checking these levers out. Let's not forget these are brakes only! Get em!

Great, with one caveat.
Great levers, except that my left lever has too long of a fixing bolt, and when it's tightened to the bar, it gouges in about a millimeter.Hasn't caused me any issues, but I'm gonna file it down a bit just the same.
