    Pazzo smazzo! I stopped buying Pazzos and started modifying stock levers, because the little tab on Pazzo and CRG levers break too easily when the lever gets pushed forward in a crash...And that happens alot in stunting, pushing the lever forward


    The answer, shorten whatever levers you have (Magura on the left/OEM on the right).....Weld on a ball, grind smooth....

    And if you like powder coat the color of your choice

    And those Mechanix gloves will always rip easily, I wear the same kind of gloves...I like them because they are very thin, and I can get alot of feel through them, but they are only good for one crash...I buy packs of 10 off Ebay because they rip all the time..They are one time use when it comes to crashing...

    Yeah "stall bucks" suck! My wrists are always hurting because of these, and the only good thing about winter is they actually have enough time to heal. Wrists injuries never totally heal thou, mine are prefect now but all it takes is one spill where I use my hands and they are back to being ****ed...At one point I couldnt hold a pencil without crying

And mine never looked like yours did, how did that heal?
