if anyone wants theirs sorting i can do it for the cost of the bushes, a quick feel of my brake lever will show how good they can be
Brake lever is not a place I'm willing to bodge something that's already dangerously wrong. Fuck that.
Oh and the bush wasn't the problem, that was just a observation that it wasn't bushed. The problem was the cup that actuates the master cylinder was machined to twice the depth of the standard one. Hence I could pull the lever back to the bar and still only have half the braking power I used to. Cheap for a reason and I'm not risking my life for tat.
I get the feeling you may have the wrong levers or they have used a lever from a different model. I maintain that you should speak with them. I had similar issues spoke with them sent images and got anotger set that worked. Since tgen no issues in 3 different bikes Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Never saw this post mate. It was the correct lever, just fucking piss poorly designed. I purchased the correct type and it fitted fine, just didn't work correctly at all. Might be one in a hundred but it doesn't matter, shouldn't slip through the net.
I don't (wont) have any fitted to any of my bikes, but i am quite aware of a couple of the Ducati lads with some serious issues, including drag and then sudden full on brakes for no reason. Few of our lads on 400GreyBike again have had wear / quality issues with failure too. My own gut instinct on stuff like this is quality counts everytime, as others have said brakes is not something i like to skimp on. Now on a side note, did i ever tell you about the guy on a R1 who replaced all his disk bolts with blue anodised alloy bolts . . . . . . True darwin'ism at work there.
Tyres and brakes should not be skimpt on in my opinion as its the only controlling factors we have. My fear is from the levers snapping when slamming on so its a no from me.
I wouldn't be worried about it snapping off in my hand but it's imperative that the tolerances are bang on, these were not even close.
seriously?? snapping a lever when you grab the brake?? if you grabbed the front brake that hard you'd be over the bars before you could say...well, just about anything
some nutter was telling me about how he did it on his mountain bike the other week so am sure it's possible if you try hard enough
