Hi,

I am doing my first bike build. It is a road bike using 105 group set but with Avid bb7 brakes.

I wanted to have lever brakes on the bars in addition to the 105 shifters.

Is this possible and can anyone recommend a set.

Also how easy is it and are there any tips.

Thanks.

Thanks for everyone’s help.
I was puzzled by the difference between these and normal MB levers. I didn’t know what they were called and I had trouble searching for information.
The video is just the thing, then I will choose between the three mentioned.
Thanks again.

I prefer Cross Brakes For Pave-Crushing Heros 😉

There’s a half decent video on this over on velonews
