AttieSlabbert Posted December 9, 2008 Share This is a review on roadbikereview.comhttp://www.roadbikereview.com/cat/controls/shifters/token/PRD_411431_2511crx.aspxBelow is the review. I just copied and pasted it. Bike Setup:Token Corsa with carbon frame, fork, stem, handlebars, seatpost, and wheels (a true sub 14 steed!). Token Accura titanium brake calipers, Token Accura shifters, front derailleur, and rear derailleur. Token C50 carbon CLINCHER wheels. Red (color matched) Omni Racer and Token metal bolts and bits to p1mp things-out.Summary:First, the levers are solid. Not too meaty like Dura Ace, but not too dainty like Record. The shifting detents are extremely precise and the action is light, but acknowledged with firm, crisp clicks. When matched with a full Token Accura drivetrain, shifting is crisp, and nearly instant and creepily silent on both front and rear. I prefer a wet teflon lube which may help facilitate this over say a dry wax. The upshift is accomplished by swinging an inside lever inward like Campy. But unlike Campy, the downshift BUTTON is located on the the same side--the outside of the levers. To me, this is a more natural posiiton when sprinting, allowing for less ackward shifts when you're in a full-out sprint. The button requires a bit of firm pressure but has a monumentally shorter throw than Shimano or Campy--litterally millimeters--not even a full centimeter. I've noticed that you can get the jump on someone because without changing your hand position or twisting your arms and shoulders, you can get out of the saddle and drop down a few cogs on the quick. My only complaint is that there are top-inside exiting cables like Shimano versus completely on-the-bar hidden cables like Campy. Functionally, these are the best shift and brake levers I've ridden to date and their light and cheap so they get a 5 for value. They could look a touch cooler and could hide all the cables, but not bad for a first go.Strengths:Price! Value! CARBON! Weight! Faster, crisper, cheaper and sneakier than Dura Ace and Record!Weaknesses:Not all cables are hidden on the bar like on Record. The glass window at the top reading "10 speed" is a bit out of place. If it was a gear position indicator or somehow presented some ditigal information, then yeah, sure, I'd dig it. But it serves no purpose here.

GoLefty!! Posted December 9, 2008 Share very good looking kit. It's basically the same stuff on Sampson bikes and branded as Sampson.It's also going to be the FSA road groupset next year but I suspect the FSA version will be 11speed...nuh..? Wheres Token Freak? Pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttieSlabbert Posted December 9, 2008 Share The window mentioned in the end - we already got rid of that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
