ABSTRACT:
A bicycle brake lever assembly attachable to a handlebar, comprising a lever pivotally attached to a brake housing, the housing having a substantially continuous hoop of material across the top and sides of the housing maximizing the flexural and torsional stiffness of the braking lever assembly. Impact loads from collisions With natural objects are transmitted from the brake lever through the housing to the handlebar, the housing being significantly more rigid to sustain transverse loading delivered by the lever. The housing providing a cable insertion slot on a shielded surface projecting substantially onto a plane substantially orthogonal to the bicycle handlebar.
