Reccommend me...adjustable levers
Been struggling recently with using the front brake as efficiently as Id like to and I think its down to too wide a gap on the the front brake lever, so I need some new levers anyway and was wondering what would anyone suggest for my 2001 curvey ?

Re: Reccommend me...adjustable levers
Expensive though. I've got a set on mine and they're lovely, but OEM does the job at half the price...

Re: Reccommend me...adjustable levers
I didn't know that, I thought they had a little more adjustment. So it's more of a bling thing then....
Glad I don't have small hands! |

They may have a little more adjustment, but not much if they do. The clutch lever is adjustable, mind, that's handy.

Re: Reccommend me...adjustable levers
id say its more likely the calipers need an overhall, oem levers are fine and no different in travel/span than expensive billett ones

Re: Reccommend me...adjustable levers
Its more likely to be calipers, either the brackets bent (if it had a crash in the past), discs 'dished' or just calipers smegged up, they can give a long lever if they are starting to sieze
