<p>Brake lever mounted on a handlebar of a bicycle. In a conventional brake lever, the center of pivotal movement of a brake lever body is spaced much apart in the radially outward direction from the axis of a handlebar, and a Bowden cable connected to the brake lever body is also spaced outward correspondingly. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the Bowden cable catches an obstacle, and the materials for these parts have been used wastefully. To eliminate these drawbacks, a pivot axis (4) of the brake lever body (43) is extended at a right angle to the axis C of a handlebar inserting bore (5) in a bracket (2) so that the center O of pivotal movement of the brake lever (43) and the axis of the handlebar (1) come closer to each other.</p> |
