How you finding them, everyone ive asked said it took forever to get a decent bleed and that they snapped..... ? Intense looks spot on that said !

bled spot on first time with the proper avid kit. lever feel is the same as they were with the code levers, just prefer the actual feel of the carbon blades. carbon levers will snap if you crash on them. meh, if it happens i'll either buy new ones or get some straightline alloy ones.

cheers for the comments, keep them coming.

Controls have 375 chain stays correct? Can you run a magic gear type setup or close to it with a 22-19 gear ratio? I know a person can with 380. If I ever bought a control or pitbull I would like to run a 74 kings type tensioner and not have a ton of slack. Let me know.
