I quite like them. It's nice to have a build without tech 3's
Bigplinky:
From what I remember they were out before Tech 3 and very good in their time (same time as Tech 2 which really are marmite levers and long DC levers which were crap) things just moved on in 83 when tech 3 came out, they just got kind of forgotten about.
More builds up to 83 need them :daumenhoch:
oldtired:
they were / are ok levers and as said look the part on an early build :daumenhoch:
however they broke easy and wore out real quick the cam if i remember would never stay set at the far point, baggy brakes down the track after about an hour, tech 3 was just more reliable , simpler :daumenhoch:
the two here are not nos but from back then both with the above fault and a bit bent :LolLolLolLol:

I had SX levers and Tourneys on a Torker as a nippa - they did me fine for racing around the block ;)
