Title: Folding levers for the GS500!
Post by: Roofaloof on February 11, 2024, 10:19:20 AM
I was browsing ebay for parts and came across this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134865680487?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BONp3MfBT1C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Jrf8V1i8SHS&var=434333643344&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Some thoughtful Chinese factory made folding levers for our bikes!

I'm pretty excited about this, as I'm planning on doing more gravel riding this year and will likely tip over at some point.

I'll probably pick up a pair before the summer riding season.

Does anyone here have any experience with these?

I've had these, or something similar, for years. Probably 20,000 miles or more. The adjustment works and they fit well. The aluminum is a little cheap but they are nice for the price. Doing anything nicer requires changing the clutch perch so in my opinion these are the way to go.

Thanks for the reply! That's what I was hoping to hear.

I'm not expecting the best quality for the price, just something that's serviceable.
