Pazzos, not cheap but top quality.

Don't be put off by some of the Chinese type ones, loads of people on the sprint forum have had the Chinese copies from the one place and had no issues apart from the blacking wearing off I think.

Cheap chinese ones off ebay. 5k miles and my black is still totally black. Look almost identical to pazzos other than the colour of the adjuster is slightly different.

If its not china its pazzo, those are pretty much your choices.

Bare in mind many many people have bought from China with no complaints, its only the complaints that you see on here. Then once someone complains you get 20 or so people who've never even bought a set all jumping on board with "this is why I bought the dear ones, cos all china stuff is poo" These people are both uneducated and wrong.
Mirrors, Levers, Brake Discs and Gear Change Rod are all things I've bought from China and I've never had a problem with any. Thats not to say its all perfect there clearly are faults with some items which have been purchased, but I bet you'll find the same with the expensive stuff too. China or Pazzo they'll both have return policies - my advice if buying from CHina is always ensure that the seller you're buying from does operate a returns policy, look for the eBay sellers who state "if you have a problem please contact me before posting negative feedback and your problem will be resolved". Look for that and you're gravy.

+1 for not dismissing chinese ones out of hand. Just fitted my Chinese specials, fit perfectly and I couldn't be happier with them





Ok I'll admit it....I would like it if the adjusters were a bit darker red but apart from that

They look good Christian, could always spray the adjusters the same colour as your paintwork, that would look good
