The grips look like the ame/gt ones but i doubt there would have been gt grips on here .. did ame make them without the gt logo?

I thought tech 5's but they wrap around the bars on the top with no break .. these look to have a break in them there .. if that makes sense  ???

Tech 5's do have a break in them (how else could you loosen or tighten them) but Tech 4's etc. were a two piece design.  Probably tech 5's IMO...

Got no better pics, just some images from a video but they still aint that good.  I don't think they are ACS as the barrel end of the inner cable is visible from the top  ???

I think they may be .. but if so they must have the decal missing to show the cable barrel .. but does the decal cover a hole?  ???

i would assume that the pic i put on has had the levers removed from the housings and been fitted the wrong way round. ie left lever into right lever housing etc.  either way i think these are your levers mate. :daumenhoch:

i dont think the decal covers a hole on the acs levers,its cast so the barrel doesnt show on the top! :daumenhoch:


EDIT,my mistake sorry ive been doin alot of research into ACS levers myself last few days.there are several types,on some there is a decal covering the hole.like a tech V but with a decal over it,i think these are earlier ones.the ones with the lever cast over the barrel are slightly later! :daumenhoch:
