Brake levers

[Wolfheze]

Anyone know where I can get a pair of brake levers for a set of 1inch diameter handlebars?
Thanks

Re:

I've never come across a handlebar that doesn't narrow to 22.2mm at the controls area, what is it from out of interest? All I can think of is to shim a modern 31.8mm road lever, but that doesn't seem a wonderful idea... :|

Hi. They are for a pair of cowhorn handlebars I have had made to fit a peugeot 10 speed racer which has a 25.4 mm stem. If I'd know the stem diameter beforehand I would have bought a raleigh or something similar. Have also heard stories about some peugeot stems breaking!

The 1984 Weinmann flat bar levers are rated at 22-24mm, if you unscrew the lever from the band they can be persuaded to go to 25.4mm.

Thanks for that. Are they easy to come by?

Regarding availability, I've no idea. You can have these for £9 posted though.

That's a deal then. How would you like paying?

Re:

You're going to have trouble finding grips as well. Just saying.

Thanks for that. Sure something will turn up. Two left hand motorcycle grips maybe?
