urgent brake help please

<< < (4/4)

SaMAlex:
I was thinking that the lever looked a bit "Vee" ish ... but that shouldnt make the slack on the upper cable any worse, it would just make the gyro move more, and the brake feel (and work) crap.

It might just be the angle of the lever in that one pic

TwoBobRob:
Yeah, it does look a little cooky in the photo.  Also, I don't see a headset nut - if they're 1" threaded then there should be a nut under that stem.  I replaced mine with one of those GSport top hanger jobbies...

there hoffman superforks, they have a shim & 1 1/8th clamp on stem, there not old standard 1" threaded forks

TwoBobRob:
Sorry fella.  Misunderstanding... You called em threaded superforks earlier on....  So what you have is  1" aheadset Superforks with a later 1 1/8th stem on top.  Cool, no worries.  As I mentioned in a previous post, go ahead and add spacers under your stem as you see fit. You could use  1 1/8th spacers directly under the stem, that would be ok, just not directly on top of the headset - or use another shim if thats easier than finding 1" spacers   :)
