Avid SD7 or Shimano XT brake levers?
Which brake lever is more durable? Im building a new trials bike, and need something strong and light. I've heard the Avids develop play after a while, which is true after working on many bikes with them, but the are like half the price of Shimano XTs. Any ideas?
