We have long hard descents in Sonoma County, with plenty of crummy pavement and potholes... so the comfort and handling of good 32mm - 33 mm tires are a perfect match.

[RBW] Re: Tektro TRP Brake Levers
Yeah, I'd agree that they're a nice alternative to (previously owned) cheapo Tektro brake levers and pointy top Shimano levers. They're not quite on par with Campagnolo and Shimano machine quality, having used both extensively, but they rival their ergonomics. The hand hold on the lever was very well thought through, indeed. Initially, I regretted the "I'm a retro lever" appearance but the comfort obliterated that concern. I've come to enjoy how they look on my new AHH: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66219337@N06/6293645602 – Shifty – -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

You beat me to the punch, Max. I just logged in to post of review of these levers. When I first saw them on rivbike.com, I was taken aback. They looked a bit Romulan, or Klingon to me (did Grant write that?) Then I saw the high polish, the tan hoods, and the drillium. The looks were starting to grow on me, and they did look comfortable. I decided to go for it, and finally got around to putting them on this week. Went for a good ride today, and confirmed they are very comfortable, and work very well. I especially like the quick release button - really slick, and makes opening up my Paul Racers WAY easier. Highly recommended! http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151498@N07/6293766658/in/pool-64927372@N00/ Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Tektro TRP Brake Levers
that's great to hear that they are larger. Too many of these levers are too petite for me. I am using the SRAM S500 levers on my Coho and they fit my big hands well too. I switched the hoods to Hudz in Bordeaux gold http://www.flickr.com/photos/37347002@N05/5893096956/in/set-72157625307611023 ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
