eBay clipons-has anyone used them?

[ecd2004]

I've been checking these out and was wondering if anyone has ever used them.

I wouldn't. The aluminum they tend to use is sub par in my opinion. It's fine for things like mirrors and maybe levers, but I wouldn't trust a clip on.

The second link at least states the type of aluminum used (assuming it can be trusted). But I especially agree about the first one - they make no mention of the grade of aluminum.

you think it's more of an issue than brake levers? it would seem like way less crucial than brake levers

i dont feel that a lever deal with anywhere near the same force as a clipon. i slightly overtightened a mirror and the piece broke...rather easily. i just foresee the possiblity of slightly overtightening a clipon and having it (unknowingly) fracture resulting is possible disaster. just my take.

Plus clipons have a lot of force on them when the bike goes down. Levers see very minimal force when crashing.

That and I love the WC 2 piece design. You can take them off and put them on without taking off the top triple clamp.

I was gonna mention that but figured he'd probably have to take the top triple off anyway to get the old ones off
