Sram S500 road brake levers

Sram S500 road brake levers.

We pronouce it "Sram," and I think that's right.

These levers are slightly less bulky in the body than Cane Creeks (which aren't bad, but they're a mouthful for small hands). And, most importantly, they have a reach adjuster built in (which the Cane Creeks and Shimanos lack).

They're more ergonomic than Shimano levers, and slightly funny looking for it, but not "deal-killer" funny looking. The lever part angles outward for ultra-superb access; the hood seems poifectly shaped; and there's a bump of aluminum atop the lever for you to play with while riding along. I think these might win the blindfold test. They are really exceptionally good in the hand, and a nice option to the Shimanos,

Cables and housing not included.
 

Clamp diameter is 23.8mm, like all other Road bike type brake levers, for use on Moustache or  drop type style bars.  Will Not work on Mt. bike or Albatross or Dove style bars since those have a 22.2mm brake clamp diameter.  This is not to be confused with stem clamp diameter which is a totally different thing.
