If you actually get a hold of a pair of the Pazzo copies, examine them, handle them, scrutinise them closely....
....unless your basic-engineering-common-sense is woefully bad....you'd realise that they ain't gonna snap!

I break out in hives if I touch cheap rubbis..copies :)

Yeah it is personal choice - but it's a considered decision which is not what is implied by your posts.
I'm not just blindly using them simply because they're cheaper & ignoring the chance that they might fail causing terrible injury or death.

You're implying I'm implying something which I'm not implying. They may be better quality, they may be worse, it's a bit of an unknown without testing. Like I said, I'd rather pay and have peace of mind over an unknown quantity, but that's just me.

You are quite welcome to examine the levers on my B1. They've been on there about 4 years now. You aren't a million miles from me.

Timmy, you don't seem very happy today? What's up me old fruit bat?

I'm fine thanks Gilby. It doesn't bother me one way or the other with regards to levers and such like. It's all personal choice innit.

Good! On a small diversion are you still cycling? I need to up my training so any excuse to go riding would be welcome (P.S. I am only running Japanese levers and components)

Heretic !.....anyone with an ounce of taste would only use Campag ....

you let your legs do the talking Ash... you can come on this cycle and all!

Aye man, still cycling. Went out yesterday and did 45 miles after work, pretty flat route though. I need to look at my bike as I think the bottom bracket is about to collapse, I'm off to ebay to look for a chinese copy ;) If you fancy going out for a ride I'm game, slow but game.

Well distance is what I need now so if you're on 45 miles after work then we should be about right. Have you got any days you're keen to cycle after work this week or next?

Alternatively I am test riding the new Street Triple on Saturday until about 1pm. Could go out for a spin afterwards?

I'd have a stab at bigger miles, but you'd probably be towing me around

Bring a rope..... all good training

went to try them out well the brakes are next to useless spongy would be putting it lightly and the clutch does not engage properly this may be down to fluid levels and adjustment as im yet to have time to properly tinker

Standard or R version? either way make sure you have enough for a deposit as you'll buy one ;-)

something is wrong with the brakes that's for sure the clutch mount looks slightly bent and the lever is too tight so need to file down the mount a bit and they should be perfect
