Good aluminum lever at low cost

good quality lever, I ordered a 1x shifter. Supplied complete with housing, cable and all ferrules and housing covers. I still adjust his position so that he's out of the way but still has an easy and comfortable thumb over the lever. Maybe only 1 star for ergonomics, but that's also very subjective.

Pros
  • Sports and outdoor activities
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Good price, cable and case included

I think it's a good product for the price. It won't have the premium feel of the best levers. It has no internal springs and therefore depends entirely on seatpost actuation, unlike other levers which have their own spring tension. There have been mixed reviews about the inclusion of cables and the case. I bought 1x and came with everything needed for installation including a barrel nut.

Pros
  • Parts and components
Cons
  • No instructions

Definitely worth the price

Works. If you have a 2x crankset it will be difficult to find a place. Check out my photo to see the place I used and it worked for me. The packaging is quite simple; It came in a plain brown bag with no instructions, but it's a cheap lever nonetheless. I used it on a teal run in North Bend WA on a single suspension mountain bike and it held up great. The cable was not lost and nothing broke. I don't listen to torque specs though and just tighten it until I think it's good, so your mileage will

Pros
  • Seats and Saddles
Cons
  • There are cons

Not cheap, but insanely cheaper than the competition, and it suits me

So yeah. Maybe $39 is still a bit steep, but you get the cable, body, barrels, and inserts. I have not used the cable jacket as mine is still in good condition. This replaced my broken (my stupid accident) 2016 DNM rack arm and I figured if I had to pay $79 for the arm I might just spend the money and buy another rack as a spare, decided but me pulling the trigger on an unknown product with zero reviews. . This replacement worked great on my first ride yesterday. The in body adjustment works…

Pros
  • sport
Cons
  • unreliable
