Remember what you pay is what you get, just pay alittle more you can have the top quality of levers.
How ironic he would write this in his add :lmao:

Just saved me asking the question. Was looking at the Shine Trust levers the other day and was just about to ask if anybody had tried them.
It says they make fairings also and claom to be far superior to anybody elses.
OK, I'll ask this question, how is the short clutch lever to operate? I use 2 fingers for the brake always, but always the 4 fingers for clutch. Not sure about changing to the short laver on the clutch side.

I've had the shorties and will forever swear by them... 2 low sides and only a small scratch! It allowed me to go back and keep riding the rest of the day without even having to lift a spanner...:ayyy:
I didn't even have trouble adapting to their length... I use 2 fingers on the brakes and 4 on the clutch as well. Actually 3, but with A* gloves is an "all or nothing" scenario in that case.
Never bothered me one bit.:)

The shorties only allow for 3 fingers (max) for the clutch ... that's all you need IMO. I resisted fitting shorties, but now I gotta say that I love them.
Don't overlook the ASV's, I'm very happy with mine.

I had Pazzos but I'd definitely give these a go... the price is unbelievable. I just hope it doesn't show it's cheap qualities when approaching T2.:dohsmiley:

Even if using two fingers, you are using them further out, meaning more leverage and less pressure..
Only advantage I see in the shorties is bling factor, and as Mr Ed saids, less chance of snapping in an off.

That's what I thought, but I have changed my mind; the shorter size means that my middle finger sits comfortably against the rounded end bit (brake) and gives me an awesome feel. I had fitted long Pazzos on my old bike, and have short ASV's on my new bike and like I said, they're awesome.
If you chose to totally disergard that experience, well, up to you.

I have both CRG's and a rip off pair - both short. The only difference I find is that the dearer levers are slightly rounder under the fingers and the cheaper pairs are more square. Fot the price, you can't beat them.
