Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Performance with Avid Speed Dial 7 Bicycle Brake Lever Set by Nathan Akers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Improved brake reliability

My original levers were plain Avid and I was told these levers would make my mechanical brakes amazing. I have BB7 calipers. They really gave them a hydraulic feel depending on how I adjusted the red knobs. When fully tuned to one page, they feel sluggish but give you better modulation possibilities. Twist them in the opposite direction and you'll get very quick brakes, but they'll lock up quicker. Needless to say, I'm still recruiting them. I paid my $20 to install them, bringing my total investment to $35. Would I buy them again? Probably. Safe braking is priceless and has definitely boosted my confidence. Having low-end leverage now will make an even bigger positive difference.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Minor issues
