Title: mid school brake lever help
Post by: m1ke on March 10, 2013, 10:22 PM

Eventually building up my haro backtrail nyquist pro and I've got some cut down primo Moe bars and my tech 77 doesn't have any where near enough bend to make it useable, is there any hugely bent levers suitable for cut down bars ?

A Dirty Harry lever isnt bent enough for you?  Im not sure there are many more that offer that sort of travel in a lever?

Sounds to me like you need to take up a couple of inches of slack in your cable  :LolLolLolLol:
