Strengths:
These levers are minimalistic!Strong,superlightweight,1 finger braking and no hassle setting them up.
Weaknesses:
Maybe durability,but after 1 year they still look as new.They're so light that you think they'll break inmediately,but they feel strong.I feel no flex when compressing them.

Bottom Line:
These brake levers are really a hot item for a lightweight bike.They perform fantastic.As said before,there's no flex on the lever.They weigh 32g each.They aren't cheap,but that is neither lightweight component.One downside could be that cables could get dirty faster than usual.This due to an open construction of the levers. If mine breaks,i'll get others inmediately(as long as there are no other better lightweight alternatives)
