Features: Internal return springs Review: Great product at a good price. - This is a great replacement lever for an old road bike. It is much better than what was on there previously. The machining on these is great and they work perfectly. They were easy to install and have been a joy to ride. Definitely remove the grey plastic piece or glue it down, it does rattle on bumps. It is not as wide as the STI shifters on newer bike but they look sleeker. Good value when you factor in the included housing and cables.

It is much better than what was on there previously. The machining on these is great and they work perfectly. They were easy to install and have been a joy to ride. Definitely remove the grey plastic piece or glue it down, it does rattle on bumps. It is not as wide as the STI shifters on newer bike but they look sleeker. Good value when you factor in the included housing and cables. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality *by D***D on April 28, 2026* Very high quality Shimano levers perfect for my vintage bike ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fit My Vintage Champion Drop Bar *by L***E on October 19, 2024* I am modifying a 70s-80s vintage Nishiki Sport (Taiwan). I was going to use the original Dia Compe levers, but the cable anchor was stuck in one of them. I wanted to shorten my time, so I went for these. They fit perfectly. They sit where I need them. They allow me with no problems to rode on the hoods. Just as when I went through the process of obtaining a CDL, I am relearning both bicycle mechanics and bicycle handling. I did not remember that I am supposed to operate the brakes with two fingers. These allow me to do this very elementary technique. I am 64, and coming back to riding, I found myself contending with cyclists palsy. I had had the symptoms before, but now that I understand the workings of the body a bit more, I knew this was something that should not be ignored, if I did not want permanent damage. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano BL-R400 Road Drop Brake Levers Set (Black) - SHIMANO Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, For MTB or Road Bikes - ALIEN PROS Bike Handlebar Tape EVA (Set of 2) Black - Enhance Your Bike Grip with These Bicycle Handle bar Tape - Wrap Your Bike for an Awesome Comfortable Ride (Set of 2, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1552760-shimano-bl-r400-road-drop-brake-levers-set-black-tiagra](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1552760-shimano-bl-r400-road-drop-brake-levers-set-black-tiagra) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
