Budget levers....what do you think??

[TAftonomos]

I'm going to order a pair of those CRG knock-offs from HK and see what I see.

I'm pretty sure:

The machining will be just as good as anything coming out of the US.
The black anodizing will be terrible, and fade away soon in the sun.

#1 is important to me, #2 I could care less about (as I will be sending a lot of parts to anodize in the winter for the "final mod")

Looks like some factory in China is just knocking these out and selling them to people here. M.Label obviously doesn't make these, but does resell them.

FWIW, I bought a pair of those Rizoma Reverse Retro Mirror chinese knockoffs and they have held up quite well and been pretty awesome.

Wow. Thanks for sharing.
If you purchase a set please update the thread with your impression of the product.

looking forward to a review as well....I'm sure anything would be an upgrade over my stock levers

So I just looked at the set of Pazzos that I have, and my levers have that adjusting screw along with the roll-a-click adjustment.
but... is there really a point to being double adjustable?

Coffin master levers have that screw. It's very much easier to adjust than most others.
The point of the clicker is to adjust distance from bar to lever (hand size and personal preference).
The point of the screw is to adjust freeplay, so the lever actually pushes fluid before it hits the bar.
I've seen riders who didn't adjust and had 50-60% brake action. They couldn't stop properly!!

So. yes there is a major point and I sincerly hope everyone makes sure to adjust.
Fellow DMF'ers - spread the word

Maybe shipping was added, but still cheap.  Still not here, but usually things on the slow boat take a few weeks.
