Those levers are from the days when road bike levers mostly all came in one reach "category," which is quite a bit longer than ideal for probably a good 50-60% of the adult human population. You may …

It's a Tektro RL340, or the same lever under another name. Cane Creek SCR-5 hoods are the readily obtainable option. Tektro made variants of this lever for a bunch of brands, including their own, but …

I don't know the answer to ST-EF50 in particular, but usually the lever blade (the part that broke here) is indeed able to be mechanically removed and reinstalled, given the willingness to go that dee …

If the lever travel/bottoming problem got worse when you replaced your pads, that's a little unusual. There is no way on these brakes to adjust the "bite point," otherwise known as lever travel. If i …

It's possible, unequivocally. The first ones were just this, run by Dieter Runkel. The specifics of how you would do it depend on the levers you're working with. Generally speaking it's going to invo …

Normal aluminum cans are basically .1mm thick, so a wrap gives you .2mm. Most of the smaller scale clamp diameter discrepancies, say from a tolerance problem or from a mismatch like a 26.0 aux lever o …

There are three paths that each have pros and cons. Microshift BS-M11s with your existing derailleurs and switch to either mechanical brakes or Hylexes. The Gevenalle levers mentioned in EarlGrey's …

There's not a reasonable way of doing it unless you're content with having it look really funny. The closest it comes is on some internally routed bars, the run of housing between the lever and the en …

The lever stopping with a firm bite with 2cm to the bar on an Elixir does not necessarily indicate you could do better. Firm means there is no significant amount of air between the master cylinder and …

If it's obstinate about going any further than pictured, you could tighten the lever on now with normal torque and then loosen it back and see if the band clamp takes a new set at all, which might hel …

If the FR-5s were producing more braking power than a crosstop, that would suggest that the particular long-reach sidepulls you have feature actuating arms that are also extra long, or you're running …

Most levers come with some lubrication at the ball tip of the plunger (aka reach screw), so hopefully some of that escaping is all you're seeing to suggest you've lost fluid. When the snapring pops ou …

If it were coming out around the bleed screw, then checking the tightness of the screw and/or the condition of the o-ring it's hiding would be in order. Taking the screw out to look at the o-ring is s …

I can't tell for sure what's going on in that picture, but I think it's a modified older Vision lever that clamps on the OD rather than inside the bars, and then the shifter is just stuck out the end. …

Aurigas don't have bite point adjustment. For the most part it's a feature found only on some upper end hydraulic brakes. The rear brake being a little softer and longer to engage is normal since the …
