WeeGee Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Quite a simple question! What lever would best suit an Avid BB7 front cable disc? (I was looking at the Avid SD7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I changed from an SD7 to an XTR and its 65757790 times better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-trials Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Quite obviously its got to be an avid ultimate. They are soooo nice and definately worth the money!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ideally you want an avid ultimate but they are expensive.I use an XTR leaver, its lovely and a lot cheaper then the avid ultimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeGee Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ideally you want an avid ultimate but they are expensive.I use an XTR leaver, its lovely and a lot cheaper then the avid ultimate Okay this has been a mixed response, I think i'll go for the XTR lever! But could anyone tell me what is wrong with the SD7 Lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Nowt wrong with the sd7 leaver, just that there are better leavers such as the XTR and avid ultimate.....This is mine - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17946^^^^Is that the one you are on about?

WeeGee Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ok. just ordered the XT lever with XTR cable! Hope this is Good! (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Dont you have to buy the XT leaver as a pair though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 What's the difference between the M950 and the M970 XTR levers? Apart from the latter being £5 more expensive on CRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 What's the difference between the M950 and the M970 XTR levers? Apart from the latter being £5 more expensive on CRC.As I said before, I have got the M970 xtr leaver, and by comparing that to the picture of the M950 on CRC, the only difference I can see is the blade shape.The M950 looks to be staighter and longer than the M970.

Krisboats Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 If it was me i'd be looking for an ultimate lever off ebay. The XTR ones are horribly small and not as comfy as the avid levers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantallsop Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ok. just ordered the XT lever with XTR cable! Hope this is Good! (?) They amazing, thats what i'v got and i think they feel well nice. Plus they cheaper than xtr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeGee Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 (edited) Dont you have to buy the XT leaver as a pair though?Yeah, I bought a pair but funnily enough I needed a new rear brake for my XC bike (Been riding around with just a front brake for ages-scary!)They amazing, thats what i'v got and i think they feel well nice. Plus they cheaper than xtr.Cool, I've been using a borrowed one for a month now and am used to the shape, but it is twice the price of Avids... Anyhoo bought them now Edited June 24, 2007 by WeeGee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-trials Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Shimano levers have a really nice feel to the lever blade, a bit slimmer and fit your finger nicer. Also if you are going to go shimano, the xt ones are lighter!!!And last for ever, i had one for about 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
