basher Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Get a pair of sd7s from chainreaction for 15quid free postage. There mint levers, just as stiff as anything else and a very nice lever profile thats comfy. Ali c has a ultimate lever and i decide i was going to splash out on a new vee and do away with the old one and hes said dont bother with the ultimate the sd7 is just as good so i got meself a pair from chainreaction and there mint, the 08 ones are alot nicer than the older ones i would say aswell.

Alex Dark Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 you cant go wrong with either a really high end avid, or high-end shimano ( e.g sd7, ultimate or xtr, xt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 i run sd7 on my front bb7 and my rear vee and they're fine,i doubt i'll upgrade them as they do there jobs just fine.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 For sure its the dangerboy lever.They arent the longest but its so comfy and the barrel adjuster works really smooth. I find the sd7s tend to clog up a little.Either way its hard to f**k up a vee brake lever lol.Cheers,Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have tried loads and loads of different levers and my favourite two are the Shimano Deore levers as they are so stiff, smooth and strong. However the best lever I have used is the avid SD7, the speed dial seems unnesecary but it makes a huge difference on well set up V-brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
