I'm always a bit apprehensive about buying from abroad. Especially when the English in the advert isn't all that great.

Any pics?

i already have Barkbusters on my bike

i prefer shortened levers, than the standard ones you get... always have..


we all have different preference in what we want for our bikes..

Reason why l put this on, is because Titax levers are a rediculous price,
At least now someone on ebay has a similar item for a much better price..
Even look at Redracing parts prices, you must be joking...

Good luck to you with the levers - I hope they turn out good. For me (call me a pessimist) something just doesn't feel right about putting my trust in a Chinese lever operating something as vital as my front brake. I've seen some really sh!t metalwork, particularly brittle recycled alloys coming out of China, but to be fair they are getting better at it all the time. However, I must stress that this is just personal opinion...

I have the non folding type on my Ten, they are great.

I saw a guys bike the other day and said oh you have those cheap ebay levers like me ! he replied no they cost me �200.

no matter how hard i looked I could not tell any difference.

plus if you have these levers behind brush guards then they shouldnt be an issue anyway.

Can't be much weaker than the ****ty cast items that come as standard... Plus if your pulling your front brake hard enough to snap a lever your in toruble already.

I was really thinking more of stress fatigue and fracturing over time which "could" result in a sudden break. You've got to remember that (although cosmetically sh!tty) the OE levers will have been tested, and properly, Chinese levers most certainly won't have been! My brother owns a Skyteam franchise in Harrogate and honestly some of the metalwork is laughable, he has to spend many an hour straightening things out during PDI including replacing levers with Honda items! But, like I said, its just my opinion based on the evidence.

By the way - hello and welcome to the forum!
