I've got a few criteria that must be met:
1. Long life, think close to forever.
2. Capable of withstanding water mud & grit for much of it's life.
3. Need to be comfortable when hands are wet and cold from wet winter riding
4. Easily adjustable to deal with seat tube/seat post contamination
I haven't had any luck finding what I want. The hope levers are short and narrow. Most others have a cheap surface treatment that will break down leading to the current and horrible AL - AL situation I'm in now. Whatever plastic bushing my current stock QR used to have fell out long ago.
I sent a message to Hope requesting a longer wider lever... here's to hoping!
In the mean time I need something in 34.9mm
