Hey All,

Silver Shimano Deore Brake Levers are all but extinct. Do you have any silver alternatives that will stand in for these excellent levers? These were cheap and good: A combo that is hard to find these days.

Anyone have a pair in good shape they would like to part with?

@Ryan -

I have Dia-Compe SS-6 levers. They are simple and work well with my Dia-Compe 980 cantilever brakes.

Which ones are you referring to? The short pull standard canti/side pull/U-Brake/Rollercam brake lever or the long pull, linear/V-Brake lever?

Thanks,

Reginald Alexis

I am looking for the short pull standard canti/side pull/U-Brake/Rollercam brake levers.

I have a brand new in the package Dia Compe Tech 77s I'd like to sell. They are 50%ish polished silver with a hinged clamp which is a selling point in my opinion--I will ONLY run hinged clamps on flat bars.
