Bicycles Asked by Carlos A. on March 8, 2021
I want to change my cowboy flat handlebar to a drop bar. I have Tektro HD-M290 brakes and I’m searching for a compatible model of drop bar levers.
The bicycle has automatic speeds, so I just need brake levers.
I can’t find any info on what is compatible with the hydraulic brakes and I would like not to change all the brake system.
Any Tektro drop levers compatible, or another brand maybe?
The issue of cross-brand hydraulic lever-caliper compatibility has been discussed here previously. See this question and its answers: Hydraulic disc brake - lever compatibility. TLDR: no evidence for compatibility between brands.
Drop bar brake-only levers almost do not exist. All Shimano and SRAM drop bar levers integrate shifting and braking functions. The only product I know of is the TRP Hylex levers. These are designed for single-speed cyclocross bikes, which of course do not need gear shifting.
It's possible Tektro makes a similar product that is compatible with their brake calipers, but I could not find anything on their site.
What I would do is replace both the levers and calipers with TRP Hylex, and have the confidence that they are compatible and will not degrade or fail.
