Works great, fits either matchmaker or I spec II (All included). Feels robust and very nicely finished. Has a duron polymer type of pivot from the look of it. They could charge a lot more for this.

I think it was £24.50 delivered.

Excuse the uncut cable, was just a shake down ride into town.

Strange how a no speed cable lever is the same price as say a SLX 11 speed shifter and is still considered cheap! 😄 must be a crazy markup on those things.
Also, what is a “shakedown ride”? I don’t know if I’ve ever dun wun a them.

I have a good shakedown ride if nothing falls off or at least I remember the multitool.Lol

As for the price of levers, it's all relative. What's the one that sells for 70 or 80£? Can't remember it's brand.

That is a bit of a mental price.😐

Yeah, that's the one. I think there is another as dear/dearer?

That said, if people have the money and don't mind the cost, it's all good.😁

I won't be spending more than the Bonty cost though.Lol
