They get a bit of a slagging but I find them quite nice. Had a bit of a problem though even with the lever all the way out the bite point was a little too inboard for my liking.

bled them, a few times, slightly overfilled them, but it made little difference.

Took the lever off to see if the pushrod anchor could be moved on it's thread, but nope, it's a rivet.

Then had a look at the plastic bit the pushrod goes into. It's pretty deep, and I only needed a small adjustment really so I took a small amount of aluminium foil, folded it small to make a something about 2mm thick that would fit inside as a spacer.

Stuck it in, replaced the lever and pushrod, squeezed the lever really hard to bed it in and hey presto, the bite point can now be adjusted to where I want it without the lever pulling back so far to crush my finger (middle finger braking problem..)

so far no problems.
