Avid Ultimate levers vs. Bombshell/Precision Billet levers..(3 posts)

Avid Ultimate levers vs. Bombshell/Precision Billet levers..kam
Apr 14, 2003 10:04 AM
any comparison between these levers? i know the ultmates are probably the best out there. how do the bombshell/precision billet levers compare to them? i'll be using either levers with avid ultimate black ops v-brakes. how does the fact that the bombshell levers not having return springs effect performance? i cross posted this in the brake forum. thanks in advance.
I used both and I found PB is much powerful than Avid.nikos

I prefer PB over Avid even though Avid has more adj.

PB pros: light 105g, more power which makes your Vs almost like Disc.
PB Cons: only 2 position adjustment. It's so smooth that no return spring is needed.
I love my Precision Billet Levers...Wirth

I been using mine since last Oct. with Avid Mag. brakes. They are simply a great product and work flawless. They are Very, very powerful, when i had my bike in to have my der. fine tuned the head Mech took it for a spin and was shocked at how powerful they where compared to the XTR's
I also think they are a great deal considering how much Paul and FRM Levers go for (which are also very nice.) Made in the USA is also nice right hear in CA. Mine weigh more like 122grams with standard bolts
Good Luck
Happy Trails
