Totally agree. Those levers in the opening post were sloppy and loose. The ones made for bike boom Weinmann and DiaCompe center pulls were the sloppy kind. And as alcjphil says, the Mafac dual command lever was very good. I used a pair of those on an old Peugeot and was impressed. I kept them when I moved the bike on.
