Subject: Brake levers

Doing a bike build and need some input on aero brake levers. I couldn't find much research as to what's better or worse. Just looking for something decent at a good price. Budget is always a concern. Any input is appreciated.

Depends on what you prioritize... The fastest thing you can buy is almost certainly the Vision "crab claw" levers or the 3T ones (basically the same design) they are aero, but they don't have a return spring so depending on your setup some people report them as "squishy" feeling. On the other end of the spectrum you have something like the Dura Ace levers, good modulation, return spring, but not the best shape.

A good balance is the SRAM (non carbon if you're on a budget) levers, they feel pretty good but are a solid design.
