The levers probably should have gone with them. Most of the cheap levers I see on HellMart bikes are mostly plastic and not worth reuse. The lever itself is likely plastic coated steel…and the steel is usually slagesium so it’s not all that strong be begin with. That’s usually because it is iron “alloyed” with metal it doesn’t really alloy with.

First quick measure (bike is a little buried right now, had to reach over/under some stuff and I'm in a hurry) looks like 31
Yup. Long pull.
