Rb Brake Levers!

Looks as though it has been done for a little one, holes in the cranks, short stem and single cage peddles,

Where would you get an RB from, havn't they stopped being made??

I have one, I love it, but it leaks very slowly & I have to bleed my brake every few months.

Mines stopped leaking entirely. It did for a while and i'd adjust the TPA every couple of minutes during a ride but since i pulled the piston out the lever and wiped all the gray oily crap off the seals and wiped the inside of the cylinder its been great. Not bled it in ages.

Yeh I cleaned mine out load's once and it kept bleed for a good while.

mine seems to have a range where it will work safely, if you pull unscrew the tpa more the cylinder kinda sticks until you move it with the lever, then the spring pushes it to the position of the tpa, I think it's at this stage mine starts to leak...

you could buy an rb lever off trialmarkt and file it down to fit an old style maggy....

I wouldn't call me lever pants, I love it, but it's justa little annoying. aslong as you keep on to of it and bleed it before the cylinder is bottoming out it's fine.

Yeah you can. Ask someone else who actually knows for certain, but as far as i'm aware its just when you take the brass washers out the lever pivot hole its slightly too tall to fit in the maggie lever, so just file the top and bottom of the pivot bolt hole and it'll slide in no problem.

Having never done it before though i couldn't say for certain.
