Has anyone used these new Profile Design Quick Stop 2 brake levers? I saw them on trizone.com. According to the information there, they have a spring return lever in the handle and they weigh the same as the other top levers out there and seem reasonably priced.
I have a Syntace base bar and I have a vague recollection that there is a problem with mixing the two vendors. I think it was that the Space Control levers were too wide to fit in a Carbon X bar.
Any information would be appreciate. As usual, the Profile site is useless. Good products, terrible web site.
I know they come with shims for larger diameter bar-ends (ie syntace). My LBS has some but I don’t know how well they work, I assume better than dia-compe and syntace which do not have springs.
I switched my dia compe’s out for the QS2’s a few months back. I love them. Very crisp feeling. The return spring works well. There is a satisfying ‘snap’ as the brake is released. It takes a day or two to get used to the feel of them - there is less brake to grab hold of than on the dia compes and space controls.
I use QS2s. I don’t know that bullhorn brakes are anything to get excited about no matter what but the QS2s work fine. Dan wrote a good review of them not too long ago. I think the compatibility problems were with trying to use syntace levers with profile bars. I know for a fact that QS2s work fine with syntace base bars because that’s what I’m running.
