    Y’all think these are short pull levers?


    Found these on AliExpress. Based on the dimensions shown here seems like these would be about 25mm…ish from housing end pivot. Though I’ve never understood if you measure that in a straight line or use an orthographic line through the pivot center point…

    The ad copy is not very helpful, I think they might actually be for bromptons which would make them short pull (road rim brakes).

    I’m probably gonna order them anyway cause they are $18 and I dig the look. Going for a minimalist cockpit on wide titanium risers.

      I’ve had them, they work with v-brakes unless there are multiple versions. Word of warning, be super careful when torquing the bolts, the threads strip very easily. They are also quite flexy so I wouldn’t run them with brakes that require pushing much effort on the lever.

      Measure orthogonally. Mine are long pull.

      Put some locktite on the pivot bolt. They loosen slowly but you won’t notice since pivot stays in place without it. I killed mine when I tried to force an M3 replacement. I just though it was a little corroded but I guess it wasn’t an M3.

      Well sounds like that’s a resounding no, these are not short pull levers. Thanks yall.

      Anyone have recommendations for minimalist short pull levers that have an extremely CNC’ed vibe?
