Dia-Compe Cherry Brake Levers Set – 25.4mm Vintage 1986
Notes from MyBikeThing These Cherry brake levers represent Dia-Compe’s attention to elegant design and smooth operation from the mid-1980s. Precision-machined with clean lines and reliable spring mechanisms, they exemplify the quality of components from this era. What sets these apart is their distinctive sweep and ergonomic shape that predates many modern designs.
Condition Both levers show excellent preservation with only minor cosmetic signs of age. Pivot points remain smooth and positive, with original spring tension intact. Inspection reveals clean surfaces with minimal wear to anodizing. Need better pictures or have questions? Reach out – no AI, no voicemail, just direct conversation about bikes. “You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition.”
Workshop Wisdom These levers are fully compatible with modern brake cables and housing. When installing, a light application of dry lubricant on the pivot points and cable contact areas will ensure smooth operation and help prevent cable wear. The 25.4mm clamps should be torqued evenly on both sides for optimal lever alignment.
