Brakes are over rated...

They've got a bunch of different types. I'd just go with the ones that felt like a good fit or cheap ones.

scorns, avid makes good, cheap levers. I think you can buy a pair for 50$ @ jenson. shimano are good too. oh yah, next time just torque the lever enough so you can lift the bike but not tight enough, this way when u go down again the brake lever will just move and not break.

Man thanks for the quick response i am looking at jenson right now.

I think he meant these. They're $40.

Nice job riding down Sunset & El Prieto with only your rear brake. Good thing we were able to switch it over.
