I have all black shorty ASV levers. I had CRG levers before, which were really nice, but I prefer the texture of the ASV levers. The ASV levers also have more fine adjustments.
I went with the gold shortys. You'll get more leverage with the longs so if you're commuting in stop and go traffic all the time, may want to take that into consideration. If not, shortys are the way to go! Great levers either way!
Yeah I think I wanna get regular length, I need the leverage like ya said. I second and third finger shift alot so I think it'd feel weird to go short. Looks wise tho those shorties are sickk[up]
