bikeperson45 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I haven't tried the Because but I'd be inclined to stick with the Avid. Strong, adjustable and like the feel of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people like to stick Avid with Avid but I was just curious before I purchased. I think the Because is just a rebranded Avid FR5 lever and a different barrel adjuster, the sd7 another adjustments so go for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) The Because looks like the FR5 I have, and it's not reet comfy Jake! I would have gone for the SD7 in hines sight Edited November 8, 2010 by dann2707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people like to stick Avid with Avid but I was just curious before I purchased. A couple of months ago I set up a thread like this but i said hope or avid. Lots of people voted on my poll and the majority was avid. Eventually i got them at the beginning of September and i love it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stya_bear Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Awesome guys! cheers!! I have the SD7 in my basket atm, just in the process of ordering everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Shimano Xt or Xtr i use SD SL , the leverblade bends when i hook Also, the pivot bushing on Avid levers get worn off quite fast compared to the shimano levers Have had all Avid levers..If you do want a avid, buy a Sd7 lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 SD7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 SD7. Comfy, looks good, simple good adjustment. For the cash you cant go wrong. If you got a little more folding to blow buy a XTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
