Post by redefined_cycles »

Anyone got a link?? Need to refurd the daughters old bike for the baby. His hands can't hold the levers properly but everything else seems to fit.

If anyone has a nice stem that 50mm too that'd be ace please. Dont wanna spend too much off course

is there not a scre you can adjust to bring the brake closer to the bar - pretty sure even the cheapo set on my kids bike at that age had the adjuster - its usually between where the brake cable enters and the clamp and just a simple screw
I can get some for free probably when back in work but who knows when that will be

Thanks will have a look. Its some trkrtro levers which he's sayibg is hurting his hands (gone from an Isla to be fair so I suppose the build quality size ratio isn't gonna be on par). Might just need a new cable etc etc to make it all a bit smoother :smile:
