FR-5 Bicycle Brake Lever Set

Good quality brake levers by avid/sram!

Bought these to replace a broken set of “no name” levers on a Specialized bicycle. I’ve previously used Avid brake levers on 2 other bicycles. One set is over 10 years old. Still going strong. The angles of the levers are just right. The finish holds up nicely. Super easy to install or replace broken or worn out brake levers with these. And, they’re never expensive but just as good operationally as some that are more expensive imho. 10/10

Perfect. Simple but higher quality than other budget options

These levers work good with mechanical disc brakes. Eventually I plan on going to hydraulic discs but can't justify the upgrade just yet. I needed new shifters and my old ones were integrated with the brake levers leaving few options for shifters, most of which I wasn't happy with. These levers got me away from fully integrated levers but allowed me to keep my mechanical disc brakes for now. The levers are high quality and offer a good feeling with or without gloves. I can easily do 1 finger braking. The barrel adjusters work much better than the old low end Shimano's I had before. If you are looking for a brake lever for mechanical disc brakes these are recommended. I would assume they would work just as well on rim brakes but I haven't used them for that purpose.

Used these on a flat bar conversion. They work great and seem to be pretty sturdy. They are not full size four finger levers. They are the shorty levers.

Avid is owned by SRAM since 2004, and designed and developed in the US. I chose these as a low cost build option and am not disappointed. They work well with the Shimano Tiagra flat bar road shifter I used for this build.

Well made levers for people running mechanical disc brakes.

They look and work great. Now please please make an all silver version.

Mooi spul

2 haftada geldi, orjinalinde logo kabartmalı idi bunda baskı.

Not a clue about the quality of these, as I sent them back, having not used them. Instead, I bought a new bike, but they seemed pretty decent in the box, and they were the same brand that was on the bike they were intended to replace, and those originals that were broken had served a good life, so it's fair to say these are pretty good also.

Estupendas y a un precio fantástico

Great upgrade for your bike, it enhances the braking feeling quite a bit. Very well made. Note that the levers are quite short, meant to be pulled with two fingers.
