Tektro RL520 Drop Bar Brake Lever is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 19.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice product Decent quality product, the black plastic feels a tad cheap but it does what it says on the tin. Good entry level brake levers. Easily adjustable too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Progressive & powerful with V`s Has been a very successful upgrade on my vintage MTB/drop bar conversion. Gives excellent modulation & feel with a V brakes, impressive stopping power with no grabbing. Also easy to adjust pads with no tendency to remain against the rim. Nice broad & comfortable hoods for big hands as well!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Levers that work with my mini V's Comfortable hand fit. Levers work well with mini V Brakes. Old shimano levers just didn't pull enough cable for the mini Vs to work properly.

Would them levers not be compatibile with dual pivot brakes? Only V's?

Would I be able to use this levers with dual pivot brakes or they are constructed only to work well with V-brakes? Cheers
Asked by: Anonymous
Do not use the RL520 lever with a dual pivot brake. Tektro makes a separate part number for that: RL340

is this for one lever or a pair?

Asked by: bevannz
I have just bought these and they do come as a pair.

brake hoods

Do these come with brake hoods or do I need to buy them separately? (Strangely, the hoods can cost as much as the levers!) Wiggle doesn't seem to sell compatible brake hoods for these.
Asked by: ChrisB14
They come with hoods. The rubber is a little thin and not as supple as a high end lever, but for the price they are fine.

Would these fit 22.2 mm drop bars?

Hi, im currently in the process of converting a flat bar hybrid to drop bars. These drop bars are not the standard 23.8 mm road bar size, but 22.2 mm, the same as a lot of hybrid bike bars. Would the clamp on these brake levers tighten enough to clamp securely onto these thinner than standard handlebars?
Asked by: Anonymous
I can confirm that these levers will fit your 22.2mm bars.

What colour are these?

Are they silver and black, as the description states? Or are they black and black, as the picture indicates?
Asked by: jdbchandlr

Are these levers long pull? That is, will they work with cable disc brakes?

I want to drive cable discs from a drop bar setup, and wonder if I can use these levers to do that
Asked by: AndyLondon
These use a short pull ratio, it is not suitable for disc brakes.
