Next up. Dura Ace 9001 levers. Not sure if these are the versions that chewed up inner cables or if I managed to attach all cables carefully.
But, for the rear mech the cable did get slightly frayed (at the lever end). This took about 4000 miles (accorsing to my Strava) and 2 or 3 Rapha500 attempts along with lots of other winter/summer riding with minimal cleaning.
As they are, they work well. Only 2 things to note is that ine of the levers had some chips in the paintwork. So when I bought em I applied some laquer (again, from daughters make up drawer) and it's still intact and protecting the levers well.
Think they're carbon underneath. They have the gorgeous ti clamps intact 😊
£70 posted for the pair (oh, and the rubber on one of the hoods ia bit of a pain... it's ripped!!).
Oh... and one of the covers that holds the brake cable undeneath is well and truly scuffed - at two points.
