Lever upgrades

I installed a set of Pazzo short levers. My first impressions:

 

- Nice quality parts.

- Unimpressive packaging that cheapens the unboxing experience.

- Easy and quick to fit (15 minute job).

- I have the Camel ADV clutch arm and I can 1-finger clutch with the stock lever. I was hoping the Pazzo's would give my other fingers a bit more clearance - they do not. This was the main reason for buying them.

- The adjustable brake lever is sweet - it has more range than the stock one and just feels better. 

- The up and down play at the attachment bolts is slightly better than stock but there's still play. A bit disappointing but I assume this play is engineered into the system for a reason. 

- They adjustment 'knob' works reasonably well but sometimes skips a detent if you apply too much pressure when trying to adjust. 

- They're 'blingy'. I have the red T7 and I bought the black levers with red adjustment knob. They look nice but that's kind of irrelevant because they're hidden behind the BarkBusters.

 

Overall I rate these a 3.5 out of 5 when I contextualize the above points against the price. I would buy them again - they do help dial in the ergonomics of the bike - but was hoping to be more impressed.

 

 

Good review.  Wonder if anyone else who has fitted the Pazzo's has found the same?

do you guys prefer short or standard length levers?

I've gone to short levers on a couple of bikes and like them.  I have CRG shorts on the Tenere. Nice quality.

First thing I did was to trim the clutch lever for a true two finger lever.  I cannot ride any other way anymore.  Swopping bikes is a challenge.

I prefer short if using an 1 finger clutch like camel adv. Don't know about stock clutch.
