There exactly the same, the whole internals of both levers are the same.The new levers suck though This might have helped you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yep the tpa bodge would have saved you a load of money, or if you really wanted to spend it you could have bought a fresh products lever with a nice tpa and much nicer lever feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 another quick question guys.I got the brake today and when i hit the lever only one pad moves unless you give it resistancenormal?Yeah usually, if its not attached to the bike, then sometimes they do it even if it is attached. If you bled it with mineral oil then whack some 3-in-1 oil on the piston when its fully out and it'll smear the oil around when it retracts back in once the lever is released. Do this a couple of times for each piston and you should be right as rain.If you bled it with water then just use some wd-40 or some other degreaser then whack a little bit of very light oil onto the pistons in the same way i described above.Give them a wipe down afterwards around the edges to remove excess oil so it doesnt get on your pads and you'll be fine.Make sure the brake is set up evenly as well with both pads an equal (short) distance from the rim.
