modifiedridah2k9 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 How do you get the Onza V-Brakes lever to come closer to the handlebars. Its for my mate he is really struggling with gapping because the lever is so far away from the handlebar and his finger cant reach it. He just got it and every time he tryes to gap he ends up backhopping. any help on how to get lever further in. He does not have enough money just now to buy a new lever so help if you can CHEERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ft-midget Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I have the same problem, I can't ride a bike where the levers stop miles away from the bar because It causes pains in my hands. Is the adjuster on the lever wound all the way in? If not, wind it in until the lever pulls far enough back for him to use comfortably.

Alex Dark Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 There is a small grub screw with a 2mm hex head on the lever, on the inside near the handlebar. At least there should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trial1966 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I had the same problem. As said above there should be a little grub screw. Pull in the lever to were you want it and wind it in and it should stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Set the pads closer to the rim? Buy better cable that doesn't stretch as much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
