Abstract

A brake lever device includes a handle having a lever pivotally coupled to the base. The lever includes a groove and two or more notches communicating with the groove. A cable coupler includes a rod slidably engaged in the groove and to be engaged with either of the notches. A post is rotatably engaged in the lever and has a notch for allowing the rod to be moved to engage with the other notch when the notch is faced toward the notches. The rod may be stably retained in the notches when the notch of the post is faced away from the notches.
