Hello,
I would like a set of hydraulic levers for a drop-bar road bike. This will be singlespeed so I don’t need the shifters, just the brake levers. I can’t find any without shifters in them, and those with are quite pricey. Any ideas? Given the prevalence of single rings I was at least expecting some left hand ones
Or has anyone got a set of STIs with a broken shifter mechanism and fully functioning brake lever I could have for cheap?
Cheers,
Andy
TRP Hylex
Perfect, thanks.
Now to find a cheap one on ebay...
Failed to find any secondhand ones on ebay. New ones at Wiggle are £100 (RHS flat mount) up to £125 (LHS post mount) for lever/hose/caliper. Eek!
However, a PSA in case anyone else reads this and wants some, Red Stallion Cycles in the US (they have an American ebay shop) have lever/hose/caliper/rotors, post mount, left and right, for £146 including shipping and import taxes. I'm in no hurry so bought these ones.
Good find! I was after some for my single speed build, but ended up settling for TRP Hy/Rd with some compressionless outer.
Not had a go at them yet, but the lever squeeze feels really nice and solid!
If the frame and forks are flat mount, https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-st-r785rl-di2-hydraulic-disc-brake-stis-br-r805-disc-brakes-flat-mount-77082.html set for £200?
I expect you have considered it but cable discs work very well also.
Sram Rival?
Cable discs? lol 😆
#usersetupfail 😂 lol
My BB7s, when set up correctly, are more than enough brake on my Arkose. Even when they're not freshly set up they're still more than good enough.
CRC had some Di2 ones (785?) With calipers for about 80 quid a while ago, worth a check?
