Current Projects chat and miscellany

The $30 Tektro RL520 are not butchered, have a strong spring that prevent rattling when using a dummy lever, and can be found in black or silver. I don't understand why everyone insists on getting Campagnolo or SRAM and not these (or the Cane Creek SRC-5C ones which I didn't try).

I tried the Tektro levers but found the hoods quite hard, when using for any length of time my palms would start to tingle. SRAM's are softer but massive in the hand....
