Hi All,

Quoted message said:

Looking to replace some brake levers to
use with canti-lever brakes but struggling
with compatibility. Any
recommendations? Also can somebody
explain what "Dual Stroke brakes" are
and any advantages? Lastly, would bmx
caliper/ubrake levers work with cantis?

Thanks

No need for BMX or mountain bike levers. Dia Compe makes a set of road
levers (regular aero, not "brifters"😉 specifically designed for the
exdtra pull canti's.require. i have a set of these on my tourer and they
work great.

http;//www.thirdhand.com should have them

Not sure what "dual pull' is.

Here are a few options:

I haven't used any of those models, but my older Dia-Compe levers worked
well until I upgraded to V brakes. Any bike shop should be able to get
those or similar levers, and might very well have cheap take-offs from V
brake upgrades.
