I need a lever with a spring return. Do these have any return force?

jayg is correct, no spring return. But, the levers do have a decent amount of return force nonetheless.

These brake levers are brake cable line activated. They do retract back after done breaking, but as far as spring loaded levers, I am not sure about that. Sounds like you need something higher end than this. Check out PricePoint.com, Chainreactioncycles.com, or JensonUSA.com. These mountain bike component sellers might have something you are more so looking for. I got these specifically to convert my road bike drop bars to be a straight (positioned like riding a mountain bike) bar. For my needs, they work really well and they do the job and then some when it comes time to brake. Hope I was of some help. These brake levers are brake cable line activated.

I have two sets of these and all mine have a small clock spring on the pivot that returns the lever. I converted a road bike to flat bar and the brake cables on the bike worked just fine. These levers use the barrel shaped cable ends.

yes they will !when you squeeze the lever its a pulling action .but you will probably will want to upgrade to amore responsive system latter !how ever hydraulic brakes are different.

No, I replaced the levers because the springs were broken & the arms did not return.

Very little force is needed as the blade has a spring that will swing it out. There is a lever at the base of the blade that releases the blade when it is pulled back a bit. If you look closely at the photo you can see the release lever slanted backwards behind the looped guard.

You should be able to use one of the two levers (one to either side, each controlling one loop - left or right). Having said that, mine had a problem where the mechanism would not allow it to fully raise the exit ramp. I disassembled it and was able to restore some use, but it is not truly a serviceable assembly. You may need to return it.

I would not recommend this under any circumstances because of the design. The tightening is done on the left side, but I doubt it would maintain sight-in because there is no tension adjustment for the latch levers.

there is a plastic tab release on each side. There are a few different types. I don't remember if they are the press in type or the lever type that you push one side down and the other up. You can try both.

I have not had that problem, is the lever loose? mine is spring loaded. sorryis it the right size shaft?

There is no spring mechanism. I use Bounty big rolls and they fit perfectly. It is a very tight fit, which I find to be a big plus.

Yes. You could switch them around if you want - they're closed systems and the levers have bilateral symmetry.

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

No problem. Lever is almost straight up in the hot position. Don't use it much either.

These do not act as shifters. As a road and track racer, i honestly i dont recommend these levers. i think that the C clamp that you tighten to the handbar isnt strong enough and i had a lot of play after a short time of using them...

Yes, and spring assist. Great buy at a great price. One small flick then open.

probably not, the plunger has no spring to return it into sleeve. It must be mounted vertically and gravity alone allows plunger to fall and activate and once door rises and forces plunger into sleeve once door closes (down) to shut off.

I have no idea. But I can tell you one of the important things to note is whether you trip lever has a bend in it. This one is perfectly straight and will not work on those.

There are no levers to release. It works smoothly and I have never had any trouble with them.
