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.

We’re SUPER excited about this new trail network o We’re SUPER excited about this new trail network opening just up the mountain from us above Butte Meadows! Two trails are already finished, with 5 or 6 more in the works, and an eventual plan to connect this to the @sierratrails Connected Communities trails. Yeah, this is big! 
  So… we asked @the.scorps if he’d be willing to donate artwork for a fundraiser T-Shirt, and he doodled up this fun drawing of the Colby Mountain Lookout. These are VERY limited edition, so if you want a sweet rare McNally shirt while raising money for a killer trail system in Lassen National Forest, head to our website quick before they’re gone!

It’s no secret our water bottles are made in the U It’s no secret our water bottles are made in the USA by @specialized_custom and it’s also no secret we’re passionate about recycling around here. Well, they just started offering a couple new bottles made entirely from 100% recycled material. While we aren’t crazy about putting more plastic out in the world, it may as well be 100% recycled AND recyclable, so we’re offering this option in our Dune Buggy bottle, in this Teal color. Soooo…. Did this thirst trap of @jxrad trick you into reading this far? ♻️
Happy Friday! Paul designed our first seatpost (th Happy Friday! Paul designed our first seatpost (the “Tall & Handsome”) with 26mm of setback to accommodate Brooks saddles, and while it’s become a cult classic, we’ve had requests for years now for something of the same high quality in a zero offset. We took the extra design time to dial in every feature WE want to see in a simple, reliable, beautiful seatpost, then machined it to our super high tolerances right here in Chico California. Head over to our website and get to know this elegant new family member, it’s in stock and shipping now!
