ConnorPowell Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 That would be the tpa cross threading, to tyake it out the is a bolt on the lever body just as the lever dissapears under, unsrew that and the lever will fall out then you will need this http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10023 and this if you dont want it to thread again http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2066 other wise you will go through so many plastic tpas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEden Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 That happened to me and i got told the tpa is cross threaded so i through it away but you can just buy a new tpa kit off of http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10023 and then you are better of getting the metal tpa also purchased at http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2065 then it should not cross thread again and it looks better than the plastic tpa.
