Hi guys,

First time poster here so be gentle :slight_smile:

I’m thinking of converting from a standard riser bar to racing drops, link below.

My current brake levers are these…

Promax Silver Bladed 3 Finger Caliper Brake Lever - Reid Cycles

Would they be useable on the above handlebars or is it worth investing in some new levers too? any suggestions on said levers?

if you want your brake levers across the top of the bars near the stem,

then you will need new levers with a 23.8mm diameter clamp. Your current levers will be incompatible.

Diacompe dirty harry or gold finger levers will work fine.

If you got more road-style drop bars you could then get some brake levers with a hood to allow an extra hand position.
