I've snapped two cables in 6 months on the transfer.
The cable wears on the leverage point.
Anyone recommend a decent lever with same level of control please?

Have just today received and fitted a Wolftooth LA one. Pricey though.... $70 with free shipping seemed fair, then another £20 in tax at post office.

The LA is the light action version and it certainly is.

Wow £20 import duty!!!! Looks good though. I take it there are no UK suppliers?

No UK suppliers for Wolftooth, but there are plenty of European suppliers if you want to avoid import fees.

Isn't the RaceFace one the wrong way round - ie cable clamp at the post end?

Following the links on the RF one takes to eventually to an installation PDF, and yes, the barrel end of the cable goes in the remote lever, so I can't see how it would work with the Fox Transfer.

I have the Wolf tooth ispec A version, got it from soho bikes. Seems very well made, can't comment on longevity though as it's only done 3 rides so far.
