These extensions were notorious for poor brake performance and flexible materials. Guidonnet Levers were often seen on French cyclotouring bikes. Mounted on either side of the stem, they allowed for plenty of room for a large handlebar bag in addition to easy lever access from the ramps and tops. The downside is that you can't reach the levers from the drops. We used to sell Dia-Compe's version of these way back when, but everyone who wanted a set got one. Typical city and mountain bars use a We offer several of our city handlebars and subsequently brake levers in a The important part of city and mountain brake levers is to select a lever that is compatible with your brake's cable pull requirements: Regular or Linear.
Regular pull is what you would use for caliper, cantilever, centerpull, and any "road" style brake. Linear is what you would need for Shimano's V-brake or any other linear pull brake, most commonly seen on mountain bikes. These pull ratios are not interchangeable. If you use regular pull levers on a linear brake, the lever will not be able to pull enough cable before the lever bottoms out.
Vice-versa, you will need to pull the lever significantly harder to stop. Both of these scenarios should be avoided. Our Grand Cru Brake Levers are one of my favorites.

I just bought some drop bars and put them on my hybrid so I needed some long pull levers. Someone suggested cane creeks drop-v's, they looked awesome but the price did not.
So I came looking to Tree Fort and found what I needed for half the price which was great. They work great and look great and were easy to install. I have not had a chance to see how they perform on the trail, but for my 3 mile commute they work great! After getting the caliper itself dialed in these levers provide great feel. Highly recommend them!
