Having read the small print (bit too late) seems that the brake levers don’t come with any means of attaching them to the bars......They’re £12 each! And I get get the little sods delivered until Thursday!!!!
Well, sometimes anyway
There's a non hinged version you can buy from China for a fiver but yeh painful when you think you are getting a bargin set.
I had this with some cheap guides from wiggle/CRC, no mention in the listing and the photos showed clamps so I contacted them. Set of clamps posted out and the listing was updated shortly afterwards.
Our latest REs had the clamps under the inner cardboard at the bottom of the box. They did arrive in proper SRAM packaging.
Was it a 'retail' full brake? It should have come with caliper and leaver all hooked up to a hose and bar mounts ready to fit.
Individual brake components might well differ so if you just buy a lever, you'll just get a lever unit, no hose, no clamp, no caliper.
Might have been false advertising as I know crc and wiggle sell a lot of 'brown box' non retail parts that don't come with any extras.
They tend to get lazy/greedy? and just post stock pictures and not mentioning in the description that it's just one component.
