Talking New Brake and Clutch lever fitted

As some of you may know, I had a little mishap about a week ago and dropped my bike, which snapped off the brake lever end. Having searched through the Org I found a link to this company, The Two Wheels. Being from Hong Kong, I was a little worried about the quality, but things are a bit tight at the moment and being a little short of cash for the £100 levers on E-Bay, I thought I would try it.

Well they arrived this morning, earlier than they said in their confirmation e-mail. I would have expected them next week, so am very impressed with their response.

Then I had to fit them both. Armed with a socket set and a screw driver, it took slightly less than ten minutes to fit both levers and seconds to set them to exactly how I like them to feel. The joy of little girly hands means that I have them set quite close to the bars.

I still have room on the adjusters to bring them closer if I need it, but they feel lovely. Will be going for a test ride later today and will report back how they feel on the road.

Anyway, have some pictures, no laughing at my poor photography skills or my white trainers stained with engine oil!









So far I am very happy with them, they look good and initial feel is very solid and well made. Not at all bad for (US)$40!

I have the same ones but short version, ace fit and work well, why pay more for the same thing? Not to mention customer service was great!

Nice.
Did they have the correct pivot to allow for the clutch switch?

Nice.

It's good when companies stick to or better their estimates.

They should do. It normally takes quite a lot to remove the colour once anodised. They do look good.
