It's a general overview, not hard data on various shapes of carbon fiber lever handles (tube vs. solid rod vs. hexagonal or whatever), how much the length of the lever determines flex; no info. on how much of the flex is in the handle-to-head interface (the threads), how much play can exist between the tip and the tuning pin, what features raise the price to $400 when somebody else can make one for $200, etc.

David,

You've got to pay to play.

You can forget about hard data from anyone else. Not going to happen.
I have over $1000 invested in Steve Fujan's levers,
    and don't regret a penny spent.

Changed my whole perspective on tuning.
But hey, that's just my opinion, neh?

Good luck,

Keith
