I’ve used the Tiagras, basic Tektros, and TRP RRLs. The TRPs are the most comfortable for me and look pretty. They offer multiple points of contact on the levers and a solid perch to sit on if you like to ride on the hoods a lot. YMMV of course. Doug Alameda CA USA -- You received this

Re: [RBW] Re: Tektro TRP RRL vs. Shimano Tiagra type BRL400 brake levers?

The TRP levers are far superior in ergonomics (for me) when braking on descents etc. The major difference that you might notice is the flatness in terms of the transition from the bars to the hoods. The Shimano has a very smooth/unnoticeable transition (on the bars I've tried), whereas you might

there are also some older bontrager branded hubs (from early 90s 26" wheelsets) that are actually chris king. you can tell just by looking at the hubshell and some sellers list this. might try looking for that, too. On Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at 5:22:55 PM UTC-7, Alex Wirth- Owner,

Re: [RBW] Re: Tektro TRP RRL vs. Shimano Tiagra type BRL400 brake levers?

I was bent on buying a pair of the TRP levers for their looks, but once I held them at my LBS I found the hood shape where my hands would sit "pointy" and somewhat slim for my larger hands. To me they felt like a cross between the BRL 400s and a modern, boxy brifter. If you like the feel of a

I made the switch from Shimano 105 aero's to TRP. I like the TRPs so far. Looks great, but its a bit more ergonomic. Easier to brake in the hoods, roomier, and the quick release function is nice if you run big tires. On Friday, September 7, 2018 at 7:38:22 AM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > Riv

They are, in my experience. The trps are a little wider and have that extra hand perch up top which is somewhat useful. The button that releases the lever is pretty useful, IMHO, especially when hooked up to v-brakes or cantis; it just helps put slack in the cables to remove tires. The lever

[RBW] Tektro TRP RRL vs. Shimano Tiagra type BRL400 brake levers?

Riv sells both models. The Shimano type has always been good for me but lately my big thumb joints are hurting after riding with them. Maybe I am getting some arthritis in them and the levers are digging into my thumb/index web too much (that’s the joint in there). Also, the Shimanos have that
