It's one thing to build a lightweight part, but quite another to make that part perform. Paul's LPZ levers perform. They're one of the last linear pull levers to offer a lot of cable pull. Why's that matter? The more cable a lever pulls--the more extreme its cam action--the wider you can set your brake calipers from the rim, and the sooner your brakes will activate. All very good things. Toss in the fact that these are some of the best feeling brake levers ever made, and what we have here, is a winner.
