SNG dual pivot?
Hi there I can get 2 sets of Tektro dual pivot calipers online for 60$ + 20$ shipping = 80$ total
or
I can get 2 sets of StopNGo dual pivot calipers for 60$ from my local shop = 60$ total
Are the StopNGo levers any good? or should I get the tektros, i never know if I should trust StopNGO

Tektro is a known brand with respectable quality. StopNGo? Never heard of them.
Is the $60 for the Tektro levers for both sets or $60 for each pair? If they are $60 per pair, that's way too much. Here is one source at $23/set:

I have these exact model levers on one road bike and they are cofortable and work very well.
BTW, there is no such thing as "dual pivot levers". Any road lever will work with single or dual pivot road calipers.

Also its 2 sets of Tecktros + SnH = 80$ or 2 sets of StopNGo for 60$ total.
Note: I edited the first post to be more clear

Like HillRider, I would go with the known quality of the Tektro's. If you have any problem with them, most sellers will make it right. With a no-name (or unknown name) brand, what you think you are saving may cost you in the long run.
