HUTCHMAN:
Guess I'm just a lazy git... I've always just bent the clamping strap until it went over the bars..

southern andy:
Thought of that Dave, but knowing my luck, i'll bust it mate.

Yes, these slide over the Bars & If they're painted  you could easy strip the paint off with these Levers.....
Good Brake tho.....

Used to love these bitd. So bleedin light. Pain in bootie to fit tho.

I used to chop some card (approx 1-2mm thick- try bogroll insert) to a couple or more inches wide and fit over bars wrapping it around a bit. Then gently ease open the clamp and slide it over the card. Clamp should spring enuff open.

Alternatively go round the bar where you mount the lever with a bit of electrical tape. Tho i did  have a dx cut into the tape once when i was being sloppy stoned.

Fiddly but hope that helps?

So it's fitted to the bars but sod the cable, struggling to work that out.  :LolLolLolLol: I'll do it another day. :)
