Re: [RBW] Re: What dual short/long pull brake levers are out there?

[Greg Murphy]

I don't know much about the lever length but I use Tektro Eclipses on my
bike. Can convert from short to long/long to short at ease.

[RBW] Re: What dual short/long pull brake levers are out there?

[Corwin Zechar]

Paul has a lever that's a little overkill for you. It's called the duplex 
lever 
. 
If you look at the picture, it gives you an excellent idea of the 
difference between short and long pull levers. It's all in the placement of 
the pivot point. Longer pivot means more cable pull. The duplex lever will 
actually actuate both brakes simultaneously. The duplex lever is made for 
bike polo. So you can ride with one hand and hit the ball (via a long 
handled mallet) with the other.

Another option would be to get two levers - one short pull and one long 
pull - such as the Paul Love lever and the Paul Canti lever. These are 
pricey options, I admit - but stuff like this can often be had for much 
less than the MSRP if you look in places like eBay.

Good luck with your build.

[DavidP]

If a three-finger blade is long enough then the Tektro RT354AG 
 might work for you. (Tektro also 
has the MT2.1 that is dual pull but it's only a two-finger lever).
