Brian Bleech Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I am after some new vee levers and looking on CRC I was going to get the some XTs ( my front xtr is bent and so is the rear, I am a bit unsure about bending them back!XTRs and Ultimate are both to pricey for me although Paul Love Lever are where its at for pure pimp factor The new SD7 look pretty nice too as the lever shape has changed, by the looks of it (the last avid sd7 levers i had were from about two years ago) Do avid levers still get that mega wobble on the go? What are the FR5 levers like too, they look the same but without the adjuster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 i love the avid fr lever myself, not one problem real nice feel, pretty sure the lever shape is identical to that of the hs33 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Buy replacement leverblades for ur xtr'sI looked into getting a replacement blade for my xt lever a while ago, £20! I can get a full set of xt levers for £30 from CRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Try and bend it back? That's surely the cheapest way? XTR levers are designed to bend in a crash, and they have that thin bit. I think they are fairly resilient to bending back. If not I say get the new lever blades, your XTRs will be pretty much as new then, and it's only £20 which is cheaper than the option.But to answer your actual question, I would go for the XTs as I know them and love them. I think the SD7s are slightly better value for money in terms of what you get, but I never got on with the shape. I've not seen these new shape ones you speak of though...
