_skj0lsvik_ Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thats why you should allways run loose levers, not so tight. It must be possible to move it up and down by your hands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Surely you can bend that back around...as said, heat and a vice. It'll be a lot weaker, but its not exactly under massive stress...Might never feel right, but saves you a couple of quid.

Karl Butcher Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I dont really wanna heat it up cos it will make it weaker and i use my front brake alot! so i dont want it snapping on me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekes Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Thats well gay can u heat it up with a blow torch and bend it back ?using a blow torch will weaken it and it will break. Just bend it back cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Aren't levers suposed to bend like that to stop the lever body from snapping?I'd just whack it in a vice and bend it back.

TrAsHeR Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Aww shit and its the new one =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Stick it in a vice. Hit with hammer.If this fails, order a new one from Tarty, am I right in thinking that 06 and 07 lever blades are interchangable?Or, go super pimp and get a Carbon one.
