Then there are times that brake systems work splendidly well with the wrong levers. case in point, when I was a dealer, I received shipment of a half dozen bikes with Shimamo cable operated discs, and short travel levers. Very shortly afterward, the OEM initiated a campaign to ship long travel levers for all the bikes in question. (2008 Brodie Ocho.)
Thing is, I had not even noticed, and even remember remarking how nice the brakes were after test riding. I had already sold a couple of the bikes, so I recalled them for a retrofit. To this day, years after closing my shop, I am doing annual service on one of these bikes, and the owner declined the retrofit at the time, being entirely satisfied with the performance. I test ride it every time, and they still work great.
