ConsNone

ProsSimple, comfortable. Set up and ride. Gloves or not.

I have been using these SA levers for 13 years/ 40,000 miles including 2 tours avg 4,100 miles. I have SA drum brakes both sizes, TRP cable Spyre on my Rohloff14 and an old CCM with front caliper.
These levers are 100% BEAUTIFUL and solid and durable, even with several ground crashes. The plastic is wearing very slowly. My fingers never get tired on all day rides. The first older set has the different bottom cable slot. Only the black is wearing off.
There are a hundred other levers of all prices, all UGLY IMO. LOL. Many have goofy adjustment knobs.

Caliper brake compatibility

By Anonymous

23 Aug 2020

One of the Q&A states that the lever is compatible with caliper brakes whereas another states it is not. Could you please clarify whether these would work with Dia Compe Caliper brakes?

SJS Customer Service:

The cable pull for both caliper and drum brakes are the same- so technically they will work for caliper brakes however SA states they are intended for drum brakes- therefore we cannot guarantee compatibility when these are used outside of the manufactures specified application.

Brake Lever Compatibility Question

By Graham Bowers

29 Mar 2017

I'd like to put a 70mm drum SA brake on the front and a Tektro R559 caliper brake on the back of an old bike I am recomissioning. Would these brake levers be compatible with both brakes in terms of cable pull / mechanical advantage please?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Drum brakes use the same cable pull as caliper brakes so this left-hand brake lever will be suitable for use with either of those brakes.

Thanks.
