At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works.
Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed
are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally
try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just
an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product
compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.
What the road.cc scores mean
Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

Mind you, metal levers can quickly be made un-rattly and non-scratching by covering them in insulation tape.
metal levers not only rattle around they also scratch anything they come into contact with in your saddle bag.
A multitool and spare tube?
"a few shiny scrapes or a long walk home?"
Or the best of both worlds with SOMA steel core levers
