What do you think about WSD?

Uh, agree.

Ditto It's your money, you earned it, unless you're currently struggling to pay your bills it shouldn't matter to him how you choose to spend it.

For the record, my DH is not gung-ho about cycling at all (he'll go ride with me maybe once every other month, usually with the kids too), but he'd never in a million years tell me I can't spend "my" money on what I want to... in fact he doesn't even spend "his" money without checking with me first, even though I've told him a million times that he doesn't have to.

Tektro also makes short-reach levers - R100A. That 'A' is very important as we found out when I got my stock Surly LHT (it has since been customized). They were fine and they are also affordable. I don't know how they last for the long-term, I only used them for something like 30 miles before I had the bike customized.

Cheers Catrin. Much more reasonably priced although the Shimano ones would be worthwhile for any bike that I aim to keep til they fall apart.

It is what Surly uses for the stock LHT in the smaller sizes - I know the Shimanos are nice but wanted to make sure the Tektros were mentioned.
