Ironically, when you look at them through a tinted screen they look purple anyway.
I suppose it comes down to whether you want them to look good, or work good.
Fwiw "yep", & on a 675 as well actually mate.!Blade wrote:Seems a mixture of opinions
Some people have said they don't like the idea of using a Chinese brake lever for fear of failure on such a safety critical part.
Question is, has anyone actually heard of any cases of Chinese brake lever catastrophic failure ? or is it no more than a fear of something possibly happening with no evidence to substantiate the fear ?
Genuine question
To be fair to ASV they have a lifetime warranty (or some warranty I can't rememebe how long) so easily take back and get a new pair. Hassle but can do that. Chinese ones like i say didn't have any real issue with them they did the job, but had a couple of ASV pairs now and very happy with themMonty wrote:Not always the case Ross, my ASVs went back twice under warranty because they faded. The Chinese one I have now are 2 years old and haven't faded.

I have never had a brake lever fail on me, however I have experienced total brake failure in a car. As such I think I can understand Mr Blades motivations in wishing to avoid making a "false economy".?Kwacky wrote:Phuck me there's some proper worry buckets about. ..
Yep, and as we agreed the quality of goods appear to be increasing. However, in mitigation; - Blade did ask the question, and I was trying to give a direct & honest answer.Kwacky wrote: That thread StM posted is from 2014. That needs to be taken into account.
