reeve Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 hi, im new to trials and the forum. ive been riding street for a while now but i feel like a change and trials seemed like the way to go. i dont want to go buying a new frame or anything, just make my street bike more trials suited. I am going to get a hs33 rear brake but i run my levers the opposite way round (right hand rear brake) so i was wondering if the levers are flip able like my current avid speed dial lever. any help will be appriciated , cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 i cant see a problem with you running the lever upside down.it just means the screws will be underneath and not on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant2004 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 yeh you can run the upside down. I do and it works just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Tom* Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 When i brought my maguras the front hose was as long as the back, so maybe if you brought a new front one you wouldnt have to run it upside down. I dont know if they still come with a hose that long as i brought mine ages ago . . . i would check with where ever your buying them from to be sure.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
