    spongy brake lever

    Ok, so ever since i fitted these new chinese levers, the brake lever feels really spongy. Anyone else had this? Cant seem to fix the issue, no idea why!

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

    Obviously its the wrong type of foam. Maybe cardboard would be better?

      Great choice to save weight on the front end. Trading ounces for grams.....that is a plus.

        I really think you're soft selling the benefits of the lever. It should soak up any spills you might have.
