Campagnolo Record Carbon Brake Levers:
  • Campagnolo Record brake levers are precisely machined and beautifully finished.
  • Steel hardware is carefully machined and then nickel chrome and zinc plated for greater durability.
  • Easily replaceable, resin bushings at each pivot point provide smooth braking action.
  • Carbon composite body is light, shock absorbing and strong.
  • This brake lever uses a rounded, black rubber, hood that is identical to current Ergo Power hoods.
  • Zinc plated, steel clamp band easily adjusts from 23.8 to 24.2 mm to accomodate all standard handlebars.
  • The weight of a Campagnolo Record Carbon brake lever is just 95 grams!
  • These brake levers are designed for use on bicycles with downtube, bar end shifters or no shifters at all. Unlike Ergo Power levers you cannot shift gears with these levers.
  • A push button, easy to use, quick release unit makes for fast and simple wheel changes. It also allows you to use this lever with any brake, even those with out built in caliper quick release units.
  • Campy Record brake levers may be used with any road or cantilever brake. They will work with "V" or linear pull brakes if you include a Travel Agent cable pull adapter.
  • Genuine Campagnolo replacement parts, cables and brake hoods are available below.
  • Only available as a set of two brake levers. Two brake cables with black, grey or white housing is included.
  • We suggest using a Park Torque Wrench, for the most accurate installation. Campagnolo recommends the following torque specification:
    Brake Lever Fixing Bolt (holds the lever on your handlebars) - tighten to 10.0 Newton Meters (N.m) or 7.38 foot pounds.
  • Made in Italy by Campagnolo and backed with a three year warranty.
  • Warranty service and help with technical questions is available from Camapgnolo USA in Carlsbad, California USA. Call Campagnolo USA at (760) 931-0106, email them at Info@CampagnoloUSA.com or visit them at Campagnolo.com by clicking on the underlined text .

Campagnolo Brake Lever Hoods
  • Genuine Campagnolo brake lever hoods.
  • Precisely molded from a long wearing and shock absorbing, black synthetic rubber compound.
  • Designed to fit road brake levers only.
  • Easy to install. Gently warm with a hair dryer. Then sprinkle Le Tour Tire Talc inside the hood. Thread the hood up the alloy brake lever and gently slide it over the alloy or carbon housing. For best results mount the brake lever on your handlebars first.
  • Only available as a set of two brake lever hoods.
  • The Campagnolo hoods will fit all Campagnolo alloy aero brake levers from 1990 to the present. They will NOT fit older non-aero style brake levers as used with Nuovo or Super Record. We cannot get original brake hoods for Campagnolo Nuovo and Super Record brake levers. However the Dia Compe Gum hoods pictured below is the next best choice and is a good fit. The Dia Compe hoods will also fit Sun Tour Superbe, Modolo and of course, Dia Compe brake levers.
  • Campagnolo uses current Ergo Power hoods for their new carbon handle brake levers.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
 brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
