Dia-Compe Hand Rest HR07 Dummy Levers (pair)

The Dia-Compe HR07 Hand Rest is a pair of “dummy levers” for drop bars - brake levers without a braking function that instead give your hands an extra, much more comfortable position on the bars. If you ride a brakeless fixed gear with drop bars, ergonomics can otherwise suffer on longer rides, putting strain on your hands and wrists.

The HR07 mounts like traditional road bike brake levers and gives you a natural position on top of the hoods, so you can vary your grip instead of keeping your hands on the tops or in the drops all the time. Dia-Compe originally developed them as hand rests for tandem bikes, but their design makes them just as interesting for brakeless fixed gear and other stripped-down builds where no braking function is needed.

The mount is made of cast aluminum, with a black resin grip and ergonomically shaped rubber hoods. They’re sold as a pair and weigh 204 grams - a fairly unusual component, but a very practical solution if you like the look and different hand positions of traditional road bike brake levers without actually needing brake levers.
