I finally have a set of brake mounts coming for my bike, which means I can finally start buying parts for a brake!
I've got the brake itself all lined up, but I've a question about brake levers.
My fixed has a really nice hinged brake lever and I'm wondering what my choices are for something like the Odyssey Monolever. Pretty much a brake where the clamp is hinged, so you can take the brake on and off without removing the grip.
Ideally, I'd prefer it to fit a 25.4 mm bar as well.

TL; DR
Looking for 25.4 mm hinged clamp brake lever. What do you guys suggest?

Thanks all.

As far as I can tell, the Monolevers only come in a 22.2 clamp diameter. I'd really like something that fits a 25.4 bar.

What bar are you running?? 25.4 usually just refers to the stem clamp area. The area where the lever and grips go is always 22.2mm (7/8"). The only exception is road bars, which are a little bit larger.

Yeah most everything is 7/8 at the grip.

hmmm I did not know that.
I'm currently running a set of NS Districts which are a 22.2 bar, but I'm in the process of getting different bars, and I figured a larger clamp diameter would let me continue using that lever.

At any rate, I ended up just getting a Monolever.
