^ the difference being a lot between cd players and almost nothing between brake levers. I find it hard to believe that you can't find a $20 lever that doesn't develop play. It's just not that complex a part. You could probably have one custom made by a local machinist that is perfect to you liking for $100.

But it's whatever, I don't care if you spend unnecessary money on your bike, I know I have and will continue to do so. Just wanted to find out more about the part, not how g*y saddle up is, my bad.
