$40.00 | | Purchased At: | titus | | Strengths: | there are none | | Weaknesses: | No responsiveness. You pull and pull and then it sticks and skids. No feel whatsoever. | | Bike Setup: | Titus Ti racerX | | Bottom Line: | I have played around with my brakes and can't get any "feel" with this brake lever. I'm riding it seems with no brakes at all and there is no way to adjust them. Not great for small hands either. Especially terrible for the rear brake....not good. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 14, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Weaknesses: | not very smooth or comfortable, lever too long | | Similar Products Used: | Magura, Pauls love levers,shimano LX | | Bike Setup: | Kona Pahoehoe,GT Zaskar LE | | Bottom Line: | I personally don't like these levers at all. I seems like Avid levers are just put on an assemble line and not put through many tests. The lever is too long for my preference. I honestly don't like avid products. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 18, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Solid design, good modulation. | | Weaknesses: | None yet. | | Bike Setup: | Kona Cinder Cone 2k4, Shimano mechanical disc brakes. | | Bottom Line: | For me, they work great. They came as stock equipment on my bike and I never had the problem of not stopping when I want to (thatÿs what really counts). Fast and responsive. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$27.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson USA | | Strengths: | Well made, good looks, compliment the Avid mechanical disc brakes, better modulation than my AD3 levers. | | Weaknesses: | Could be of better quality but then the price would go up. | | Similar Products Used: | Most Shimano(XT,LX,XTR)and Avid levers. | | Bike Setup: | 2003 Supergo Access XCL 18" aluminum hardtail, mostly Shimano with 185mm Avid mechanical disc brakes. | | Bottom Line: | A good (not great)lever for the Avid mechanical disc brakes, good looks, quality could be better,good price, better modulation than other levers, Avid makes better qualtiy brake levers but they cost more. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
