chinese levers
« on: 09 February 2013, 11:51:56 pm »
Has anyone tried any of the cheap CNC levers from eBay.2wheels seems to come up often as a supplier.I can't afford the top end ones like pazzo and just wondered if there was a cheaper alternative that worked well.

Got a set of Chinese cheapies myself. The ones I got are a better fit than the factory levers. I think they were £19 for the pair. Feel a hell of a lot better too.

Had my copies for about 2 years now and no problems other than to colour fades a bit. Fit is good and work well. Payed about 30 quid delivered but they can be found cheaper.

I have heard the adjustable ones from stuby to long needs the grub screw changed as its poor quality.

Got mine from 'Bikez' (I think) for around 30 quid and they've been excellent. Also had them on my SD for a few years also with no problems. Service was pretty good too. S

I used to have a CRG brake lever, but couldn't use it with my Brembo master cylinder, it looked the business, but I just had a look now and they want £75!

I had a look at the expensive ones but can't justify spending 150+ on a couple of levers.

Found a pair of standard type levers from demon tweaks in matt black for 23.99
They also do anodized ones as well so have ordered a set to see what their like.
