Brake lever snapped

[8lueoval]

Hey guys/girls,

Snapped off my front brake lever on sunday. Im looking at upgrading the levers to something stronger. Can anyone recommend some? I don't care if i gotta replace the the whole thing. its for a pitpro xr160

problem with them my brake lever seems to have a bit that sticks out to stop the lever folding back. These levers don't have that?

 

[8lueoval]

see the bit on the right sticking down

just relised the asv will work, my brother tryed using a Clutch lever haha

 

[Carlts]

lol yeah the asv's will work,

There sh1t done bother with em, go asv reps

 

[mr_plow]

why are they sh1t? they are fine to me and alot cheaper than the asv's

 

[Carlts]

yeah but in the long run they are a pain. You'll snap the levers that easy and no more ridng for you. Its just better to go quiality so your riding days arent cut short.

Better off getting one good pair then one that wont last!

 

[mr_plow]

these won't snap easily trust me, im very impressed by the quality of them. they are bi fold plus if you plumb tape them there is a very low risk of breakage.
in the end its you decision, im giving my honest feedback, and i have been through my fair share of brake and clutch leavers

 

[Carlts]

same here but after snapping nearly every type except asv's I think a lil differently but each to their own

not sure if you guys have worked this out yet, but the idea of riding is to stay on the bike and keep it up right. master that and you can use what ever gay levers you want :lol_hitting:

i dont use fold backs or fancy levers..

Your obviously not pushing yourself enough

 

[sean01]

i push enough for the old bloke i am lol..

oh and 1 little tip.. dont tighten your perches right up, let them be slightly loose but not loose enough that you can easily move them..
