The levers to me are. I come from hydraulic disc 29ers and road levers...all of which have return springs and a positive action. These levers feel mushy and almost feel like they are gonna break if applied too hard. Also the adjuster screw is impossible to turn without grabbing the cable and relieving pressure on the barrel...and when squeezing the lever, I can see these adjusters flex up and down. Movement like that takes away positive action, since it is spent flexing.
The shifter is just odd to me and not smooth. Its awkward when shifting in certain directions.
All in all I enjoy the bike. Just have my reservations on some of the parts on this $$$ bike.
