Brake Levers (pair) - Mountain, Shimano. Adaptable to any style of rim brake.

Brake Levers (pair) - Mountain, Shimano. Adaptable to any style of rim brake (and cable actuated disc brakes, too).

Shimano doesn't make many rim brake levers anymore, and these are really good ones. 

They work with (long pull) V-brakes or (short pull) sidepulls, cantilevers, centerpulls. You just need to switch where the cable head sits inside the lever. Instructions included.


Clamp diameter is 22.2mm like all other Mt. bike type brake levers. They're not for drops or Albastache h'bars. All others, yes.

Your choice of XT (BL-R780), Tiagra (BL-4700), Sora (BL-R3000), or Claris (BL-R2000).  All seem to be identical except for color and finish.

Tip: if you don't NEED to reduce the reach to accommodate your short fingers, remove the reach adjuster bolts and throw them out. On swept-back handlebars they CAN rub a hole in your baby finger when you grip forward of the brake lever. And, as already stated, if you don't have hands small enough to require bringing the brake lever handle closer to the handlebar, you'll never use them.
