just wondering what is a good brand for new shorty levers. Not sure if you can get a good set for $50-100.
Speaking strictly of paso they are made to order in Canada. You pay for their engineering and Asian manufacturingI installed these on my bike back in June. Have around 2500 miles on them and they are fine. Billet aluminum, I'm not sure what makes a pair that costs 4x as much better. These look just as well as they did when I installed them and work just as well as my stock levers.

For some things I would definitely agree but when we are talking about a chunk of metal cut to a certain dimensions with no moving parts I can't justify the 4x the cost. I'll be sure to report back if they crumple in my hands or something like that.Speaking strictly of paso they are made to order in Canada. You pay for their engineering and Asian manufacturing
That justifies it for me

Totally got ya. Mine are 7075 aluminum. Perhaps that is the same aluminum I put on a cookie sheet to baking cookies, I've no idea. I do know that it's just a lever not a piston or other critical engine part. They are solid as a rock, and they look as good as they did when I put them on 4700 miles ago. They operate flawlessly and feel great in my hands. Am I missing something here? At the end of the day I'm happy with my purchase and was simply trying to pass on information that might prove useful for some.We are talking about grade of the alloy and the purity. Anyone can melt some alloy and than CNC them to shape.
