Date Reviewed: January 10, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Dial in, lightness, image, modulation | | Weaknesses: | Small bolt fixing | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano range, Avid LP's, Pauls | | Bike Setup: | Light xc | | Bottom Line: | For V-brake use its great - you can adjust reach, adjust modulation via the in built bezel, they fit well on the bar and complement the XTR shifters & Ti bar (of course) and look really great as they wear in and get that shiny look of use that you just can't beat.
That and they feel great when using V-brakes on ceramic rims, you really can break in minute distances with total silence with this set up.
Fair enough fixing on the bar is with 4mm hex - but just ensure that key is well inserted and no chance of rounding out the bolt which would otherwise be an issue.
Definately a fit and forget item which just last forever. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$65.00 | | Purchased At: | a bike shop in LA | | Strengths: | I've had these levers for 9 years. They've been on three bikes and operated xtr v-brakes and avid disc brakes. They're indestructible and work with everything. I can also run whichever shifters I want. This is the way to go!! | | Weaknesses: | Grey finish rubs off easily; not really cheap but you're getting bearings and higher quality construction and materials. | | Similar Products Used: | xt, lx, xtr--I have a bunch of different brands on my bike, but I've always run shimano brakes. | | Bike Setup: | SC superlight, SID XC, Sachs Plasma 8 speed grip-shift, and a bunch of other stuff that was too expensive. | | Bottom Line: | I recently went to walmart (oops...supergo) and all these rigs had the latest disk set-ups; half the levers flopped around they had so much play; the levers felt plasticky. Nine year old levers felt tighter and more robust. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Nice looking, High snob apeal, quality fit and finish | | Weaknesses: | high price, low mechanical advantage, somewhat uncomfortable | | Similar Products Used: | Avid speed dail, shimano LX | | Bike Setup: | oldschool Litespeed hardtail, XT/XTR, vintage bomber coil/ oil fork | | Bottom Line: | I'm a little disappointed in these levers. I replaced my integrated 9s LX shift/brake levers with these when I got a pair of pauls thumbies. I was surprised to find that even with the leverage adjustment cranked all the way up, my brakes were not biting like they did with the LX levers. The XTR design incorperates a sliding cable tie in point that yeilds increasing mechanical advantage as applied brake force increases. You can set the maximum possible leverage ratio with a small adjustment screw in the lever assembly. It looks interesting, but in practice I find the modulation, and overall available brake power is sub-par compared to either the LX, or the Avid levers I used in the past. I find my forearms are much more strained on downhills, and where I could previously use 1 or 2 fingers with total confidence, I'm now forced to use 3, with a higher fear level. Additionally, the crossection of the lever is a little small, and has sharp edges that are not comfortable for my hands.
In this case, the budget shimano stuff actually works better. Sure, the XTR logo will get you attention, and they look sharp on your bars, but these levers don't have the performance to back up all that flash. The LX stuff is butt ugly and cheap looking, but the mechanical design is far superior. Save your cash for something else.

Otherwise, the levers are high performers in all performance areas. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

If you tinker with it, you can get your brakes to feel perfect!
I suggest this lever to anyone who can find a good price for them as they are a little on the pricey side.
Those who don't like a lot of little adjustment possibilities should find something that is a little less complex, as the the seperate adjustments for reach/leverage/pull can be overly tempting for gear freaks like me.
The only downside is that they are (at least for me) terribly ugly! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
