Canti Lever

The Canti Lever is a short-pull brake lever for use with short-pull brakes like cantilevers, center-pull brakes, side-pull calipers, and short-pull mechanical disk brakes. Dual sealed cartridge-bearings, precise machined tolerances, and high quality American alloys make this the smoothest, stiffest, strongest bicycle brake lever in the world.

  • What is Cable Pull?
    Short Pull ↓

    Short pull brake levers have less leverage than long pull brake levers and pull a shorter amount of cable as they are actuated.

    They are intended only for use with short pull brakes, such as side pull caliper brakes, cantilever brakes, centerpull brakes and mini-v brakes.

  • Clamp Size
    22.2mm ↓

    22.2mm is equivalent to 7/8 inches, and is the diameter of most mountain bike handlebars. Many flat bars, risers and city bars have this diameter. It is measured at the end of the bar where grips and brake levers attach.

Product Story

We recommend Canti Levers for use with our Racer, Neo-Retro,  Touring Canti, Mini-Moto or Short Pull Klamper brakes, but they work well paired with any road caliper brake, cantilever brake, or other short-pull brake. For our long-pull brake lever, see the Love Lever Compact or Love Lever 2.5.

These levers are machined by us here in Chico California to exacting specifications. The pivot features a dual sealed cartridge bearing for the smoothest, stiffest brake lever you will ever use. Like all our components, these will be serviceable for a lifetime.

A 5mm set screw in the side of the lever perch allows you to adjust the reach, setting the distance from the bar to the lever to fit your hands. These levers come in Standard Reach, or Short Reach for those with smaller hands, or who just like their lever blade closer to the grip.

Barrel adjusters are included for fine-tuning your brakes, and their oversized design and smooth shape makes it easy to adjust them by hand, even wearing thick gloves.

Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
Applications for the next round of BIPOC Bike Adve Applications for the next round of BIPOC Bike Adventure Grants are now open – providing free bikepacking gear, cash, and mentorship for community initiatives. 
 “The BIPOC Bike Adventure Program is an effort to reduce the barriers to bike adventure for BIPOC people. 
  We recognize that this is a small step in the face of systemic racism and entrenched inequality, but we believe that bicycles and the outdoors are for all, and that everyone should have access to the freedom, joy and self-actualization they provide.
 We also know that there are many barriers to multi-day self-supported adventures to be dismantled before beginning to bikepack, such as finances, equipment, confidence, experience, camping skills, and access to routes.“
 Head over to the link in bio at @bikepackingroots to learn how you can take advantage of (or support!) these programs.

Did you know that Chico’s annual Bidwell Bump mo Did you know that Chico’s annual Bidwell Bump mountain bike race predates the first Repack?! 
  It’s a beautiful rugged loop with a creek crossing in Upper Park, and registration is still open for this year’s October 5th running. Head over to @bikereg and type in Bidwell Bump to get in on this historic race, and all proceeds go to Velo Trail Works. 
  Also, if you want to read a hilarious recounting of the first race in 1976 by local legend Chuck Bodfish (keep in mind, mountain bikes weren’t really invented yet), head over to the PAUL Comp website and type “Bidwell Bump” into the search bar.
