well Randy you are certainly asking for it *giggle*

OK IMHO everyone hates Safety or "turkey" levers because basically they flex alot and do not provide good braking action. and if the brakes are poorly adjusted to begin with there is even less stopping action.

as for a Spoke Protector, Pie Plate or dork disc everyone is a master mechanic and since there bike is always perfectly tuned there is no chance of the RD coming anywhere near the spokes so why do I need to protect them.

personally I am looking for a pair of good quality brakelevers with safety levers for one of my bikes. I know there were a few made with hoods that accepted them and I even saw a few aero style that you could attach them too.
