Brakes & Levers

Brakes & Levers

Stopping power is of paramount importance to any bike, so brakes and brake levers are a vital component. Disc brakes provide the best stopping power for the mountain bikers while calliper brakes are the choice for the road cyclist. We also stock replacement brake pads for all brands of brakes including Shimano, Avid, Hayes and more.

Mountain Bike Disc Brakes

Disc brakes provide maximum braking power for mountain bikes. Cable actuated disc brakes offer great value for money. Hydraulic disc brakes offer a closed, friction free braking system.

Mountain Bike Rim Brakes

Also known as v-brakes, or linear pull brakes, mountain bike rim brakes are light weight compared to their disc brake counterparts and provide a good level of stopping power.

Mountain Bike Brake Levers

Mountain bike brake levers from Shimano are designed for use with our V-Brake products. Many of these levers have adjustable reach for maximum comfort.

Road Bike Calliper Brakes

View our road bike calliper brake sets. Their traditional design can be deceiving, these modern brakes offer good braking with dual pivot technology. Brands stocked include Shimano, SRAM & Campagnolo.

Road Bike Brake Levers

We carry the full range of Shimano integrated STI levers as well as integrated levers from SRAM and Campagnolo. As well as integrated brake levers we also have standard brake levers.

Brake Pads & Spare Parts

A range of replacement brake pads are available for all braking systems from the leading brands. Choose a compound that is suitable for your local weather and riding conditions.
