OHHHHHHHH YES it is, we are ordering her carbon fiber levers, we got outbid by 1 buck on e-bay for a set so now we are shopping again....my wife just said something really funny. " it's like my bike has lost his virginity (referring to the bent brake lever) once you loose it, you can never get it back"

Hey man, just caught that lever thing - if you haven't bought them yet, just my opinion, but those faux carbon fiber levers on eBay are the crap dude. I mean, they're completely functional but the jet black ones look SOOOOOOOOO much better. Even the stock ones. Those faux carbon levers are really lame looking man. Anyone who knows carbon fiber knows what it looks like, those levers do not. Same goes for all that fake carbon stuff, looks horrible.

Anyway, just a thought.

EDIT: I say this because I bought a pair before.

got a parts unlimited 525-108 O-ring chain and I went back to stock gearing for now to get back on the road. here pretty quick I'm hoping to replace it with Vortex sprockets and go back to my -1/+1 gearing and my 520 chain.
