I’ve previously used Avid brake levers on 2 other bicycles. One set is over 10 years old. Still going strong. The angles of the levers are just right. The finish holds up nicely. Super easy to install or replace broken or worn out brake levers with these. And, they’re never expensive but just as good operationally as some that are more expensive imho. 10/10 Review: Great choice!!

Good quality and seem durable ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent. Lightweight. Smooth function. *by M***M on August 6, 2026* I really do love these brake levers. But I have just one minor issue (and maybe it's just me)...but the side of my index finger keeps rubbing against the "pointy" edge of the lever's main body, near the pivot point (see my photos). I have to consciously keep my fingers positioned further away from this area in order to avoid contact. Again, this may just be me, and it could have to do with the fact that I'm running a 27.5 degree swept back Ritchey Kyote bar. Otherwise, these levers are great. They're the perfect lever for my late 90s Gary Fisher. ## Frequently Bought Together - Avid FR-5 Bicycle Brake Lever Set (Black) - Park Tool PPL-1 Polylube 1000 Grease Tube (4 oz) - Shimano Universal Standard Brake Cable Set, for MTB or Road Bikes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1552799-avid-fr-5-bicycle-brake-lever-set](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1552799-avid-fr-5-bicycle-brake-lever-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
