Borrowed a 20 inch Isla bike for the kids off a friend, its been properly used by his kids so needs a little bit of love. I have spare Avid speed dial levers but they still sit a bit far from the bars and my son is not holding the bars properly when braking. So where can I get some small, short reach levers (like the ones on a Cnoc14/16?)
errm Islabikes? I would have thought they sell spares.
Our Isla Bike and Ridgebacks have reach adjustable Tektros on them IIRC.
Just the thing - thanks
I put one of those tektro levers on my sons balance bike..
They are bigger than I'd hoped..
I'll post a PIC in a while..
I put an XT 2 finger lever on my daughter's bike. Reduced the lever throw by making a spacer that restricts the amount the lever can return.
Works great for small hands. Pic here:

A child on a balance bike is going to have smaller hands than a child on a 20" bike.
Very clever...
The point is that for a junior lever its bigger than expected.
