how do you wear out a lever? unless your rubbing it repetitively sideways or something, but then your just weird if you do that.

i have ridden it a good amount for about a month, and no sign of wear. i sprayed on 4 coats of clear coat to protect it

r u serious mr-eric? if ur really gonna be that ignorant, i dont want to waste my time arguing with you

flag mr-eric (Jul 28, 2009 at 8:59)
no i mean that it will just get worn down and scrached up, i wouldnt waste my time painting a canadian flag on, sure bending it but painting it seems like a waste of time cause it will just get scrached and worn, even with shit loads of paint and clear coat

oh ok, well u should have specified that. and i dont mean to sound like a dick, but ur also wrong about that too. ive ridden this lever for 3months about a year ago, then just switched it back on my bike again for the last 2weeks. its got no chips or wear at all. the key is to just layer the living jesus out of it with engine enamel clear coat.
so no, it wasnt a waste oftime
