Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Modolo Morphos Shifter/Brake Lever Opinions?

Anyone have any input on these shift/brake levers?

I realize some people won't like the way you must shift gears with them, but that doesn't matter to me.

I've been looking at them and with the price drop I may go ahead and get them.

Comments?

Thanks,

Allen

Contrary to what Pokey says, Modolo Morphos
really isn't crap.
Modolo is an old well respected marque.
The idea is that the Morphos will shift anything,
ShimaNo or Campagnolo, doesn't matter, 9 speed,
10 speed, 8 speed, no sweat. You don't need to rebuild
Ergo levers or buy new STI (since can't rebuild shimaNo).
this is easily $30 to $50 less than they show up on
e-bay for.
If you need some advice, shoot a PM to Xavier who
is moderator of Racing Forum (he also runs Bulltek sports).
Search the threads for Modolo Morphos I know they have
been discussed here before.
