ConsNone

ProsExcellent all round levers

Really good, well made brake levers. I bought these for use with independent gear thumb shifters and found them to be really dependable. Can be adjusted for various brake systems - I use them with dual pivot brakes. Also come with inner and outer cables, which is a bonus!

ConsNone really

ProsNice modulation, not flimsy, light weigh, look good.

Lovely good looking brake levers, ability to alter the pull ratio for 'v' brakes or calipers very useful, and not noted in discription. Also fact that brake cables not mentioned, I bought a set of cables and then found cables in with levers, this made them a little more expensive than necessary

Good Service And Product

Regarding:SHIMANO Ultegra BL-R780 Brake Levers For Flat Handlebars

By Martin Jefferson

Hi,
Can you tell me whether these particular levers will work well on a road bike to flat bar conversion with side-pull calipers?

SJS Customer Service:

These will work fine with Shimano ROAD calipers or any caliper that uses a short cable pull.

Can these be used with Cantilever Brakes?

By Aleman

10 Mar 2021

I have an old Dawes tandem I'm converting to flat bar, originally fitt4ed with Weinman cantilever brakes. The V- Brakes I've bought are very tight on the front due to the "Narrow" post spacing on the forks. I could go back to the Original Weinmann brakes IF I can find a suitable straight bar lever ... Without paying the price of Pauls of course :)

SJS Customer Service:

Thank you for your enquiry, yes these are compatible with calliper or canti brakes, they are not suitable for v brakes

Shimano BL-R780, does this means that these are black coated as your photo shows silver?

By Michael Broom

If these are black and I will place an order for them.

Hi there,

Unfortunately these are silver. The BL stands for Brake lever.

Thanks.
