Ultegra 6800 calipers + Tektro Rx4.1 Levers Commuting
Hi,

Does anyone know if the Ultegra 6800 calipers

Shimano Ultegra 6800 Road Brake Caliper | Chain Reaction Cycles

would work with the Tektro Rx4.1 levers

https://www.amazon.ca/Tektro-RX4-1-R.../dp/B003SZUP7C

I changed my handlebars to bullhorns and would like to upgrade my brakes for commuting and I am not sure if these caliper brakes will work with these levers.

Thanks

Yep, those will work fine together. If you're using caliper brakes, the only levers you want to avoid are levers designed for v-brakes.
