Brake lever question

Does anyone know what material this lever is made from? I had a minor crash and it bent back slightly. Can I ben't it back into place or do I need to replace it?

Aluminium. Only the Avid "Mag" was different with a magnesium lever, the body being the same cast aluminium. The "Ti" were just SD7 with Ti bolts/finishing kit with aluminium lever and body.

You might be able to bend it back slightly, but it will be weakened and may well not survive another prang. Having said my SD1.9s seem to keep going on after afar bit of bashing.
 
Re:

Those levers match the shifters well! Love my Avid brakes, always go for them when using V-Brakes :cool:

I guess I'll start looking for another set. I have some cheap leavers to use for now. Thanks.
