nafan Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I've been thinking of getting one recently, and have seen them on CLS's bike and Neil's etc. but the only reason I can see for getting one is because I can....Does anyone ride them and think they feel better than normal blades, and do people think it's worth it? I know its only £25 but that could buy other things if not...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence osborn Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 yeah they are worth it although i don't personally have the people i know do and they are much comfyer than the standard ones and also longer so better leverage so stronger brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 That was what I was thinking, and since I run bodged maggie mounts in my frame, and a home-made tpa I can do with all the strength I can get...Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have a Zoo lever, and is really really really really nice! So comfy, and can definately feel the difference in power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomer Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 i was suprised how the brake feels alot more powerful because of the extra leverage it provides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 ive had an echo one now sinse they first came out, and i love it. it looks really trick, and is very stiff.its a little longer than standard i believe, which gives a touch more leverage. its generally very comfy, although i will say its quite flat, and your finger takes a little while to get used to it, but after a week or so all's good again!i wouldnt use a std 05 lever after using this, they just feel nasty.
