Buying childrens brake levers.

[Rampage]

Anyone know a supplier for kids brake levers? Wiggle sell a Tektro one but it's too big!

Re:

These dinky ones from my daughters Islabike would be great to identify, if anybody has any ideas. Just to say, a well set up kids bike makes them learn much faster and take to it more easily.

Re:

They look quite similar to the Tektro kids levers I'd like to buy but can't find anywhere.

Re:

Might be worth contacting some of the cycle trade suppliers Moore & Large, Fishers etc to see if they can source then. Awesome brakes that work so well with little hands.

They do look like non branded Tektro levers, prolly custom spec for Islabike. Seems to be plenty of suppliers. The V brakes work amazingly well, so powerful. This is so important giving a kid confidence that they can stop fast before they fall off.

Re:

Would Shimano m600 LX or STX-RC levers do the job? Short and very adjustable.

I used these on my 9-year old daughter's bike, and they're perfect.

Re:

What age range is that Islabike for?

Another lever that works well is the Clarks one which comes with their £20ish V-brake kit. I've used it to fit decent brakes to several pals' kids' bikes.
