I need a measurement ....
 

I have been asked by Ils by u2u if the CRG Levers on my bike at their "closest to bar" setting are closer than sandard levers, truth is I don't know.

Could someone with standard levers measure the distance from the tip of the lever to the bar so that I can get a figure to compare mine to and assist him ....

Cheers .....

When I saw the title I thought you meant something else...you know.....for comparison purposes. Shame on me:(

From when I rode your bike back from the chain change at Brands I found your levers suited my ickle hands a lot better than the standard ones, so at a guess I would say they were closer.
If I wasn't 20 miles from my bike I would go measure them.

cheers eras :) no worries, its not a must know now thing ..

i'll do it first thing in the mornign on Setting 4 mate. answer on here before 8am.

From the centre of the ball on the end of a standard lever to the centreline of the bar = 100mm
From the leading edge of the lever at the knuckle to the centreline of the bar = 72mm

cheers Nick, I'll measure mine on my way to work in the morning ....

Sorry for butting in weeksy, but my bike's not far away!

No worries Nick, saves me getting cold in the morning :)

I fitted CRG levers to mine and have found them very good indeed, build quality is superb but I think the price is to high.
