Levers

Post by jackson7715 »

Anyone got any suggestions for an uograded set of levers. Got a yellow storm, but it has standard levers. Want to add a bit of customisation to it. Doesnt have to be an expensive set either. Seen some around on sites for less then £50 a set.

There's Pazzo or Titax levers - and then there's cheap dodgily made Chinese copies where you risk them causing the font brake to drag, warping disks as a result...

True, but the cheap ones aren't an upgrade, they're a downgrade.
You can't feel much pride for a Lexmark copy..... And the trouble us, you can see them as you ride, unlike their cheap cans.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

The chinese knock offs cat be pretty good, but right to be leery of the quality. One pair might be aircraft grade and good as pazzo except with finer machining, next pair will possibly kill you. And definitely right to take the moral stance.

Be prepared to drill holes in Chinese levers to match the oem ones that should be there...….

I've had a few sets of chinky levers never had an issue with then but at the end of the day you pays your money...I'd avoid the really cheap ones...cheap isn't always the best option...

Keep an eye out on ebay decent ones do come up now & then...
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
