Anyone know if there are any online shops selling Dangerboy goods? I'm interested in levers and maybe one of the SR71 stems...and the dealer locator on www.dangerboyusa.com isn't working yet.

I don't know of any online dealers, but I ordered my levers direct. They shipped super fast.

That's funny. When I emailed them they asked me for my Zip code so they could direct me to a dealer. I've emailed them back, but figured I'd try here for instant gratification.

Hmmm, I don't know, but here's where I ordered mine thru http://www.dangerboyusa.com/dangerboy_bike_parts.htm

Anyway, good luck. They're great levers.

i'd like to know why the upper crown for the monter t is like 200 bucks and the replacement arch is only like $70. They look like they would use about the same time and material.

my upper crown is tripped out but that is alot of $

Thanks. I just got a set of Bonz levers locally, and while I like them, they don't jive too well with my twist shifter pods. If my hands were bigger, and I could run the lever reach further out, this wouldn't be a problem...alas, I have small hands (and yes, I smell like cabbage...carnies, circus folk...you know), so the levers are hitting the pods when I'm trying to brake hard. The Dangerboys are supposed to be better for this...now I just need to find someone to buy the Bonz off me!

In any case, it's cool that 'nice' leves cost about the same as stock Hayes...although they're all naturally overpriced from a consumer perspective.

just a guess but I would think the arch is done all in one opperation. I would think an upper crown would require at least 2 opps, maybe 3.

Somehow I knew you'd find your way to this thread...

I was going to point that out but then I got distracted. But yeah, machining may look simple on the outside but if you have to figure out a way to hold the part when it's being machined then you get into some pretty pricey parts.
