Good functional brake levers, but certainly not dura-ace
These are very respectable levers for an inexpensive price. I am happy with my purchase, but I wish the rubber covers were more flexible, and that they extended farther out to reach the handlebars--they leave a gap between the covers themselves and the handlebar tape, once they are installed. Nevertheless, they are comfortable in all hand positions. Instructions for mounting were very thorough and clear.

Great for commuting, but price comes at the cost of comfort
I ordered these for a budget rebuild of a vintage bike I did a few months ago intending to use them just for commutes. But, I've since biked just shy of 1.9k miles on the bike with these installed, using it for everything from the half mile skip over to the nearby metro stop to a 100+ mile ride in a paceline and peloton, but primarily for 9 mile commutes. So, I have a wide range of experience with them at this point and has a list of pros and cons. The 3 starts is within the context of my usage of these for some longer rides, where something with a bit more comfort and ergonomics in mind would be helpful.pros:-Great value: For the price you are paying, these are well functioning and will enable braking. Yes, this is the bare minimum, but if you're on a tight budget it is great to have something this affordable for that.-Relatively easy to install: As long as you have a 5mm Allen wrench available, you should be able to slide the clamp on and attach the levers to that.-Sturdy: I recently took a small tumble on my bike with these, and despite taking a hit into the ground it is still functioning well and didn't explode in the way you'd expect a very affordable option to. The plastic is hard, and the levers are metal.cons:-Not too comfortable: The downside of a harder plastic is that they don't have a softer position for resting your hands. They work well for my commutes, but there's no way I would feel comfortable riding with these for longer periods of time without something like a pair of gloves. So, depending on the type of riding you are doing and need for comfort, consider this.-Clamp not staying tight: I've found that I periodically (every few months) need to retighten the clamp to keep them tight and prevent them from moving around. Part of this is because to get to the 5mm bolt to tighten, you need to use the longer side of a standard Allen wrench, leaving not too much leverage. So, maybe a bit of a me problem, but figured I would note this as I am finding it is less a "set and forget" type of setup and something that you may still need tools around to regularly maintain.-Lever angle: The angle between the hood and levers is a bit larger than levers I've used on other bikes. So, I found it difficult to position the hoods in a manner that I could both have a comfortable position for my hands to rest on the hoods and be able to reach the levers well. You almost have to position the hoods more downwards to get the levers in a more reachable position. This is fine for flatter and more open roads, but I've used them on some descents at this pointConclusion:I bought these because I was figuring I'd try to go as budget as possible on my build and see what was available. But, I've been using the bike more than planned, and the cons are making me consider upgrading soon. But, if you're looking for a budget build and the cons don't bother you, I recommend these as an option. They will work and get the job done.

Springs and one pin broke off after 1/10 of a mile. Almost went over the bar. CHEAP!!!
I knew the price was to good to be true. Parts shot off the front brake lever on the first test ride. VERY unsafe. Returning. Unfortunately I have to wait for a better pair and buy new bar tape.

Not the greatest quality -- I would return but had already installed them on the bike
Disappointing quality unfortunately. I would have returned but had already installed them on the bike. Better to go for a higher quality more expensive set of levers.

Work great, some trouble installing, worth the price.
Switched to drop bars on my single speed bicycle and wanted a pair of affordable brakes. These fit the bill. The only issue is that the brake cables are difficult to thread in once the brakes have been secured to the bar... and the brakes are difficult to tighten on once the cables are in. Not difficult to work around (I threaded the cable in before clamping, then used a long), but annoying enough to cost a star in the review.
