Shimano DX Levers
« on: October 30, 2014, 07:50 AM »
When did they first come out?  and SX as well?

Looking at the Shiners catalogue they were available in 83 but i wondered if they were out before that?


Many thanks in advance  :daumenhoch:

IIRC

SX = Steel lever arm and  DX = Alloy lever arm

I know the DX is a better lever being alloy, but I prefer the look of the two tone of the SX.  :)
