Evening all
Went out tonight, hit a nasty tree root and went airbourne over the handle bars. Somehow as a result I've snapped the rear brake lever off! It's snapped where it joins the handle bar. They're Tektro Dracos. I've tried to find somewhere that sells just the brake levers, but no luck.

Am I able to use brake levers made by other brands? Or does anyone know where I could get just a rear brake lever from? I dont really want to buy a full brake set if I can help it...

Cheers

    You need the lever to fit the master cylinder assy.

    The lever assy needs to be the same for replacement.

    Or buy a new system.

    Ebay? Maybe buy a cheap set and swap lever? Guess it depends on time...

    Probably just better to upgrade as they're fairly basic I think and any repair would be the cost of a new set, and if you're buying new you'd be better off with something better.
