Title: Is this the replacement brake lever for MiniST 2?
Post by: JimInPT on October 02, 2024, 10:20:32 AM
I dumped my 2021 MiniST2 the other day (ow) and it did pretty well other than folding in the left-side pedal and bending the left-side brake lever.

I bent the lever handle back easily and it seems to be working ok, but I'm concerned the bending weakened it and I might have it come off at a very-bad time when I need it.  So I went in search and found this one:  https://dealer.trpcycling.com/product/el555-rt-brake-lever/ (https://dealer.trpcycling.com/product/el555-rt-brake-lever/)

It looks right and even mentions Rad cable compatibility, but can anybody confirm if this is the same model installed by Rad factory back in 2021, so I can order a spare?

Thanks!

Hi, Looks exactly like my spare so I would say it is a safe bet.
