why are shimano DX brake levers so unloved?
NORTY40:
I don't mind them , Carl has a point on the two tone variations of the same colour though . I also think that people as daft as it sounds don't use them because they are cheap and readily available . Shame, as like you say Sam they are early 80's levers . I dare say as supplies run out and the price creeps up , more and more people will start to use them . Im pretty sure they were dearer than tec3's bitd :D
meticulous:
at £10 for a nos pair its a no brainer ... if your not too bothered about the expence snobbery.... :-\

I have some, however performance wise they are a little spongy in comparison.
They work well when using brand new !00% straight wheels (something I never had back in the day)

I agree, they are super spongy and didn't work as well as DC's offering back in the day. Given most bikes they go on these days wont be raced or ridden hard I guess it doesn't really matter, but BITD they were rubbish to actually use.

I had them bitd 4 a while and they work better than Tech 3's till they r worn. I prefere the SX with the chrome lever and coloured body :coolsmiley:
