Does anybody know where you can purchase the carbon lever on the Hayes website or is there a better quality blade lever that will fit the Hayes sole brake?

    sorry but why spend money on a lever for the sole? get better brakes.

    Assuming that the Sole and HFX9 levers are the same, a pair of carbon levers will set you back £70. For £106, you could have a pair of Juicy 3s http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=22185

    I must agree - for the brakes you are thinking of putting them on it simply isn't worth it - even if the ones are damaged currently - just order exact replacements. It would be a lot cheaper and would make more sense. otherwise you will end up with levers that cost (or are worth) more than your brakes.... :?

    You would be much better off going for the Avid Juicy 3's - a much better brake.

    I would recommend saving a little more and go for new brakes! :wink:
