Overview

Reach adjustment in the Shimano BL-T4000 V-brake levers

The Shimano Alivio BL-T4000 V-Brake Lever Set in Silver is built for flat-bar bikes running rim V-brakes or mountain mechanical disc brakes, giving commuters, hybrids, and trail bikes reliable, predictable stopping power. These are long-pull levers, the correct actuation for linear-pull V-brakes and long-pull mechanical disc calipers, so they deliver full braking power and clean modulation with the right cable travel.

An all-alloy lever and bracket keep them light and durable, while adjustable reach lets you dial in the perfect lever position for your hand size and glove thickness. They clamp to standard 22.2mm flat handlebars and come as a complete left and right pair. A smart, value-driven upgrade or replacement for any flat-bar rim or mechanical-disc brake setup.

Will these work with my brakes?

They are long-pull levers, so they pair correctly with V-brakes (linear-pull rim brakes) and long-pull mechanical disc brakes. They are not intended for short-pull road calipers or hydraulic systems.

Do they fit my handlebar?

Yes, they clamp to standard 22.2 mm flat handlebars found on most hybrid, commuter, and mountain bikes.

Is this a pair or a single lever?

This is a complete pair, left and right levers.
