Brake lever recommendations please

[MrGrumpy]

the paddy is 1/2lb lighter then the langster and thats aul with carbon forks and seat post.

I`m finding that hard to believe but I`ll take your word for it, it must be light as the Langster was a light bike !

the cc 200tt's are £29.99 for the set so not that cheap.

and the barends look like reindeer? ok if thats what you see thats what you see. but it rides f**king grate so if some one thinks it looks like a reindeer thats up to them

definitely, i see...

a rutting stag in season, reindeer, caribou.

Are the tiny levers mounted right next to the stem a-la peejay's bike actually any use for braking, or are they more just to satisfy the law in a stylish kinda way.

I've always had normal road brakes with hoods (because I don't fancy going front brake only, though I so rarely use the rear brake its almost totally redundant!

they are very good, lots of power, especially with 105.

to be honest, if they were crappy, i wouldn't use them, because i like brakes, i find them very useful for stopping.

Cool - so they look good and stop well too, perfect.

Although they do fall into my "they look too stylish so I don;t like them" wierd catagory!
