It's the usual thing. Tonnes of internet experts in something they've never tried, let alone owned for any length of time.

We're talking about a bit of metal with a pivot. It's hardly rocket science.

Glad you’ve had good experience. Ever heard of quality control? Some people get some really bad examples 🙂. Some have that nice auto braking feature .

I'm sure plenty of people who've bought ASV or any other over inflated-also made-in-china-products have had issues of some variety. The whole "don't buy anything from China" argument is so long in the tooth, irrelevant and outdated that it's almost hilarious to see armchair experts repeatedly spouting the same boring dross over, and over, and over about it.

I’m really disappointed us ABS guys don’t get to use that storage area. So much room for stuff!

 

levers ... eh... OEM or quality or bust.  Your levers are your lifeline. 

Had Chinese levers on every bike I've ever owned (a lot) and never had an issue. It's a daft internet myth that they're anything other than completely fine for use.
