Bremshebels

Bremshebels, also known as brake heebels or brake handles, are a type of lever used to operate the brakes on various vehicles, including bicycles, motorcycles, and some types of cars. The term "heebel" is derived from the German word for lever, and the name "Bremsheebel" translates to "brake lever." These devices are typically located on the handlebars of bicycles or motorcycles, and on the steering wheel or dashboard of cars.

The primary function of a Bremsheebel is to transmit the force applied by the rider or driver to the brake mechanism. When the rider or driver presses the Bremsheebel, it activates the brake pads or shoes, which then press against the brake rotor or drum, creating friction and slowing or stopping the vehicle. The design and placement of Bremshebels can vary depending on the type of vehicle and the specific braking system used.

In bicycles, Bremshebels are commonly used with rim brakes or disc brakes. In motorcycles, they are used with drum brakes or disc brakes. In cars, Bremshebels are typically used with hydraulic or mechanical brake systems. The design of Bremshebels can also vary, with some featuring a straight lever, a curved lever, or a combination of both.

Bremshebels are an essential component of any vehicle's braking system, as they allow the rider or driver to control the vehicle's speed and stop it safely. They are typically made of durable materials such as metal or plastic, and are designed to withstand the forces exerted during braking. The proper use and maintenance of Bremshebels are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of a vehicle's braking system.
