Extended brake lever
« on: 17.04. 2021 08:37 »
Seen a few of these for sale on our favorite auction site.
Theory looks good, anyone any experience? Do they make a noticible difference.
Thinking of getting one for my 190mm front brake

G'day Gearbox.
I think you mean one of these https://tinyurl.com/yeca8dht
I extended the lever on my Cafe (Ariel type hub) about 1". Gives a bit more power but the travel of the hand lever increases.
Cheers

Thanks for the reply. That's the sort of thing I was looking at. Wonder how that would work if it was reversed like on the racing goldies?

Have to do some more reading.

Any ides if the duetto brake is a significant inprovement?
