Some people on here have been saying the Chinese ones on ebay are alright for the money. Think they're about £40 for extendable, fold-up ones.

I fitted some of the Chinese eBay ones think I paid about £20 delivered and they where great really nice compared to the standard levers. Was bit worried quality would be bad but was pleasantly surprised

I've heard that they can sometimes be a bit naf, for want of a better word..?

I did take a look at them but was warned off them as I was told they fade in sunlight etc?!.. Very strange I know!!

I fitted some of the Chinese eBay ones too the quality of them is very good and also look good. £22 and if you are prepared to wait 2-3 weeks for posting you can't go wrong with them.

Was gonna try to sell you my spare ones but TBH dude, you can't go wrong with what everyone's suggesting. At the very least for £16 it must be worth a go. The worst that can happen is that they don't last as long. But for £16 if they last 6 months they're alright (p.s. mine have survived a crash and still going strong after a year).

Same levers I had great value. Chinese manufacturing is not always poop i dont think as an English cnc would not do much better, so as long as the material is good spec then they would be fine.

Runako.. Just for arguments sake, what levers have you got available??

Runako 30-01-13 09:05 AM

Re: Black stubby levers.
 
Its the same but the extendable ones, ala this sort of thing - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-extenda...item3f1f043b4e.

My pair are used but no damage, clean and good. Only reason for change is a technical upgrade to the newest type with a slightly different slider and foldable. I would suggest getting a new pair for the money. I'll keep mine as spares. They are pretty good.

Lol, I've taken every sticker off the bike but thought I might as well stick one back on if it serves a purpose (though unlikely if its a proper scrote who has eyes on what's not his). Mine is more "hidden" but still visible. Can't have my bog standard SV looking like anyone else's now can I? ;)
