No problem! Looks like the CNC backings are going ahead with a small manufacturer about 5 miles from the Tarty warehouse. Great to keep things local where possible 😎

I guess you guys are hurting for business with the advent of AI services, huh? Also - why is it always this thread that gets targetted?

That's really interesting. Thanks for your input. I really wanted to go with SD7 levers but well, you made me think... There has been so much experiencing by Atomz when they were made by Sunn with V-brakes it's crazy. That led to the ATS system the Jealousy still uses actually. So many factors can change the feel of the lever or the behaviour of the brake it's almost impossible to make the brake perfect for everyone. As you say the adjustment on the SD7 makes the brake spongier but it should also make it more more powerful. So it's always a compromise you have to choose. Some top riders like Robin Berchiatti for example prefer a spongier brake feeling with Hope brakes, others with HS33 and I don't know why. It's always down to personal preference I guess!

I just use SD5s with an FR5 lever. Can't fault them. Work amazingly and cheap as chips. I really don't think it's worth spending any more money than that. The key is to use SP51, as you mentioned. I got the TNN pads and they're fine. Nothing lifechanging. They're just pads. They reliably stop the wheel.   SD7 vs FR5 levers: SD7 has the adjustment and so can deliver more power, but I find it makes the brake feel spongier. This is the same when using them with a disc. I currently have an SD7 on the vee because I snapped my FR5 and that's what I had spare, but the FR5 feels stiffer under the finger, and works better as a result. The FR5 is also simpler with just the one moving part, and a fixed anchor. Feels nicer in terms of response, same lever blade shape for ultimate comfort, marginally lighter, cheaper... can't really beat that!
