    Well I've been hunting around for ages it seems for the perrfect Brake Lever guard. Do I need one...erm no. Do I want one... erm yes!

    They are a bit of bling to be honest and I even though I plan to track my road bike a bunch this year, still like the idea of having one of these for those "oh shit" moments :D

    Tons of these to choose from.. I think it will be a bit of a marmite one this, so I will reserve judgement until I see it on my baby :p

    Found this one ona bike for sale, and with a bit of detective work, tracked the manufactures down and ordered one today!

    Very nice Gilesy.

    I bought a pair of these for mine :

    SATO RACING | Lever Guards

    Just for bling of course, but the brake one may come in handy one day. My OCD would not allow me to have just one :)

    I have these, had them for a few years now, still look as good as new despite taking a few hefty knocks,
    including dropping the bike whilst wheeling it about and the guard taking the full hit..

    a couple of pics of the carbon guard.. I called reactive parts today and they are going to change it. Its just simply not good enough quality wise for £120, and certainly not good enough to go on my bike.. shame but the lightech one will be a good replacement.
