mad_gavo Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Going to get myself back into riding after been inspired to ride properly after going on the london ride the other week.Bike needs a few things to get it running sweet, however there are a few things that i want to check before i go ordering it all.Firstly will a 2.5 maxis high roller go through an adamant a1 frame (on an alex DX32)?are onza alloy risers the same shape as the carbon ones? As i fancy something slightly wider and my carbon ones are getting very chipped.And finally im going to get a new maggie as mine has come to the end of its life I feel as the lever is mega wobbly and it is made up of three differnt colours due to parts breaking over the years So im going to get a sexy 05 one as was thinking of getting one of the aftermarket levers (echo/adamant etc ones) Is there any difference in the shape of all of the makes? and how much longer are they and do you gain much from it?Sorry for all the questions but i hope you can help Thanks gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnagr Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 First off, the Deng lever blades don't fit on the old (which I believe 05s are?) levers. You get a 7% leverage increase, as posted by Tarty in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's spose to be 7% more power i think. I've got an echo one and it feels the shiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 tyre will definately fit, get the zoo! bars, stronger and a wide choice of colours, get the 05/06 magura and get any of the other levers, they are pretty much all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_gavo Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Ok thanks Yer i was considering the zoo/adamant etc bars but was unsure and i have had onza ones before so i thought they were a safe bet. So theres not really any difference in shape between the different makes of levers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 they are pretty much all the same, they all do the same thing and they all feel the same.as for the bars, i seriously recomend the Zoo! bars, but the Adament ones are identical to them, so i'm sure they will be just as good.

ogre Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Like to add that the dreng levers are really good my zoo one feels so much nicer that the standard magura one and grips my finger alot better woop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_gavo Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 nothing wrong with them, just i prefer the zoo onesthink il have to blag a go on someones bike with zoo bars to make up my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 another maxxis tire would be good and it will last for you wont it as your front tire has last over a yeah.i say you either get the onza alloys or the adamant bars something different than all the other riders here and as ash says the zoo bars are identical to adamant bars as for the magura, normal standard maggy 05/06 but with adamant lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
