Anyone have any experience of either of these?

The KS one looks a bit sturdier and is possibly better quality but has a fairly stumpy lever which night require a bit more force to operate.

The TranzX might be lower quality(although it is aluminium) but has a longer lever which looks like it might be easier to use.

Don't think it's southpaw. Looks like this one KS

As opposed to This one

ah yes

that KS one is much sturdier but harder to push as its shorter with less leverage, does fit on the end of ODI lock ons tho

the tranz x one works just fine but does feel a bit flimsy, but still works

I think I preferred the KS

Cheers @kimbers ! When you say it fits on the end of the lock ons, does that mean the clamp is too big to go straight on to the bars or is it just very accomodating?

Anyone else have any experience of these?

i have the ks one , as a lever its fine , i have a old style reverb lever on my other bike and its probably easier to push than that but in a slightly different position . its attached to a budget ks dropper which is still going after about 5 years of use .
as for the ODI part it has the same cut out as the inner lock on collar so you can use it as a grip lock on as well .
Are the bontrager ones not meant to be the best budget lever ?

Cheers moonsaballoon, I did have a look at the Bonty ones but I thought the lever on that looked even stubbier. Maybe I am wrong?
