Okay okay i over stated it a bit, I knew people would pounce.
I like them because i didn’t have very much new to learn to keep them working well,which means i can think about other things instead,like trying to learn Spanish properly,or any of the other things that need thinking about.
Along with friction thumbies and flat pedals they help keep the part of my brain labelled cycling as clutter free as possible,and probably keep cycling a bit closer to like it was when i was young and just got on my bike and rode about on it before putting it back,i may need to turn the red knobs every so often or lube the cables when i remember to,but that’s pretty much it,along with changing the brake pads,but for me they help to keep things simple,and i don’t need ot think about potential things that might happen like stuck pistons or air needing bleeding.
The levers are quicker to replace if i ever bend one on a cycling holiday too,but that’s just an added bonus.
Each to thier own at the end of the day. 🙂
Cheers
