Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Paul E-lever.

That's where you went wrong.

Technics doesn't have the little people to help the brakes work properly. You should have used normal lego with only a bit of technics (the ones with three holes). But everyone knows that meccano works much better than lego. Lego is out of date technology compared to meccano.

Fool.

That however looks like a well thought out functional lever that may even justify the high cost.

Why are you all getting heat up over the price of the Paul E-Lever?
This is the cheapest Paul Components lever you can buy, after all.

After 5 pages I've decided that this thread is useless. And that although the paul lever is overpriced and gay, it's about the only shorty lever out there that's not a piece of ****. Damn it.

Yeah, dude, the Paul e-lever is totally only attracted to other male brake levers.
