Yes, the Cane Creek SCR-5 lever should work as a modern replacement. http://canecreek.com/component-other?product=levers-scr-5 Of course, they are more expensive than used parts-bin levers, but very reasonably priced for good quality levers. They have a quick release "button" and (although I have

Probably not, Seth, but thanks for suggesting it! I'm actually getting kind of excited about the CC or Tektro levers at this point!!! :-) On Sun, May 24, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Seth Vidal wrote: > > On Sun, May 24, 2009 at 2:21 AM, David Estes > wrote: > > Rob, thanks for info re. the Tektros. They

I believe Tektro has licensed the design from Cane Creek. I have a pair of each and except for the little lizards on the cane creek levers, they are identical. Both work great and have become my favorite levers. My bias is toward the local product. Michael On May 23, 11:40 pm, David Estes wro

I used Tektros on a mustache bar for a couple of years. They worked fine, but I have large hands. They are now on a Gary bar that replaced the mustache bar. rob markwardt wrote: > I love the Tektros. I'm even putting them on my 71 chrome > ParamountGASP!! I'm 99% certain they are the same

Rob, thanks for info re. the Tektros. They look like a good deal and readily available. On an M-bar, I don't think the thickness would matter much for me... I don't use the aero "resting on the bodies" position much, and when I do, I'm holding them sideways so I don't *think *it would matter. I'

I love the Tektros. I'm even putting them on my 71 chrome ParamountGASP!! I'm 99% certain they are the same as the Cane Creeks (I have a pair of both and they're identical). That being said, they are much thicker than the Shimanos and I'm not sure how they'd feel on a moustache bar. On May
