Replacement levers, short or regular?

[Unfazed]

Thinking of replacing the brake and clutch levers (must be bored or something)

Anyone had experience of the short ones or best to stick to regular length?

I have installed replacement adjustable levers purchased off Fleabay. I prefer the adjustable ones as the shorty versions have never worked for me. I have had these on several bikes in the past - they work for me and are cheap enough. I would recommend the adjustable ones as they range effectively from a shorty length to a more standard length - best of both worlds really.

Sounds like a plan, Cheers, Kiwi!

This may sound a bit silly, but it depends on how much traffic riding you do. If you need to hold the clutch in a lot, a shorty lever could be a pain in the .... fingers.

Ive had the shorty adjustable one of Ebay fitted for over 3 years now, they are fine

I've had shorties for all my bikes. It's just preference, you won't know till you've tried a set

I prefer the shorties...

But it mostly (I would think) depends on how you use them. I'm a 2-finger guy, so I like the short ones.

Likewise, I prefer the shorties, but is is a matter of personal preference.

Short ones for me. First time I've ever tried 'em.
Have to say they suit my short, stubby fingers perfectly.
Great buy off Ebay for £15.75
(A quick tip if you buy any of these. to adjust, push the main lever forward while you click the small adjusting lever.
It feels a lot better and doesn't put strain on the notched cam.)

Any trouble fitting the clutch cable side, spacers OK?
