    I hasd a black set that i had for 2 years and they held up great . I pointed a friend to the same seller who had the total opposite outcome

    he got gold ones that turned yellowish green and started to fall apart after a while

    So black is the safest colour to get and like Benn said , for 20/30 quid who cares lol

Pazzo was actually Dick Turpin wearing a mask or should i phone the police because i have just been robbed.....buy the Chinese ones there bullet proof

    Open to all...

    On the subject of levers - what colour levers do you think will go best with my repsol. I've looked at loads on the net but remain undecided.

    regards

    Mick has it got the stainless frame and swing arm?

    If so I'd be tempted to go with the stainless with black or titanium coloured adjusters I very nearly went that way with mine

    Thanks gents - I've got the stainless frame and swing arm, but I also like the black levers. Choices, choices, too many choices!

    Here's the ones I bought from honk kong. Granted, they look good, and decently built....but sloppy as hell. I suppose you could tighten the bearing though. Anyway, I bought some ASV's instead, so if anyone wants my pazzo copies, pay the postage and theyre yours.

    Been discussed before and real world horror stories told etc, but Ill mention again anyway...
    By all means save money on cosmetic stuff, but don't cheap out on brake components.

    You can fix those easily, remove the pressed bush that is in the Hong kong copies and replace with the bush from your originals, hey presto the correct fit. I bought some for a track bike of mine which were the same.
