GTF Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Alright.Im getting some new levers (and a brake).So I wanna hear your reviews on Shimano XTR and Avid Speed Dial 7 levers.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I would personaly go for Avid levers, i have run XTR ones before and i find that if you adjust the leverage using the slide adjustment they tend to "clunk" when you pull the lever. I currently have the older style SD7 levers which are realy nice but have a bit of a flat fron to the lever blade which i am personaly not a fan of, hence why i have just ordered a set of the new style SD7 levers with a more rounded lever blade.So i would say SD7 but if you can afford it Ultimate levers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I know Ultimate is good, but I cant afford them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Personally I've never liked avid levers, I feel they make my brake mushy and shit.. It's plenty of adjustments on them but I cant say it helped to much on my brakes.Shimano *** I guess, makes MY brake stiffer and hell of a lot better You doesnt even need expensive ones, I bought some old-school DX levers and the work superb =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I use the speed dial ajustment on my avid levers all the time, I dont think I could use any others. I did use xtrs years ago, they fell apart after a few months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
