Canti Lever

The Canti Lever is a short-pull brake lever for use with short-pull brakes like cantilevers, center-pull brakes, side-pull calipers, and short-pull mechanical disk brakes. Dual sealed cartridge-bearings, precise machined tolerances, and high quality American alloys make this the smoothest, stiffest, strongest bicycle brake lever in the world.

  • What is Cable Pull?
    Short Pull ↓

    Short pull brake levers have less leverage than long pull brake levers and pull a shorter amount of cable as they are actuated.

    They are intended only for use with short pull brakes, such as side pull caliper brakes, cantilever brakes, centerpull brakes and mini-v brakes.

  • Clamp Size
    22.2mm ↓

    22.2mm is equivalent to 7/8 inches, and is the diameter of most mountain bike handlebars. Many flat bars, risers and city bars have this diameter. It is measured at the end of the bar where grips and brake levers attach.

Product Story

We recommend Canti Levers for use with our Racer, Neo-Retro,  Touring Canti, Mini-Moto or Short Pull Klamper brakes, but they work well paired with any road caliper brake, cantilever brake, or other short-pull brake. For our long-pull brake lever, see the Love Lever Compact or Love Lever 2.5.

These levers are machined by us here in Chico California to exacting specifications. The pivot features a dual sealed cartridge bearing for the smoothest, stiffest brake lever you will ever use. Like all our components, these will be serviceable for a lifetime.

A 5mm set screw in the side of the lever perch allows you to adjust the reach, setting the distance from the bar to the lever to fit your hands. These levers come in Standard Reach, or Short Reach for those with smaller hands, or who just like their lever blade closer to the grip.

Barrel adjusters are included for fine-tuning your brakes, and their oversized design and smooth shape makes it easy to adjust them by hand, even wearing thick gloves.

If you type “Bidwell Bump” into the search bar of our website, you can read Bodfish’s telling of how it went (pretty funny), and if you wanna race it this year, follow the @bidwellbump bio links, and maybe you can win a prize from us!

Brass bike parts… they’re heavier and cost more… b Brass bike parts… they’re heavier and cost more… but there’s something about ✨THAT PATINA✨. We know, these aren’t for everyone. But some people like a little pop of brass on a bike. You can polish it to shine like jewelry, or let it oxidize, for that vintage steampunk vibe. We’ve just added brass options to our Bar End Plugs and Stem Topcaps, and have already been offering it in Spring Adjusters and Baby Groovy Barrel Adjusters for a while now. Machined right here in Chico California by a bunch of bike nerds, just like everything else we make. ✌️
