tt5th Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Has anyone modded the rear brake lever on their TY mono to make it more accessible? I never noticed how tucked away it is until I started riding a Montesa as well. Was thinking of cutting it and welding on a piece of metal or something from another brake pedal to extend it out half an inch or so. What do you reckon?

badbowie Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Yep thats exactly what I did. I got a peice of flat bar put v slots in it with an angle grinder then welded it to the front of the brake lever. Then bent it around and welded it to the back of the lever. Probably moved it out about 3/4's of an inch no problems using it now. Let me know if you want to see a picture of the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Sounds exactly like what I am planning to do. Pictures would be great, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbowie Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I tried to upload some pictures can't seem to work it out. If someone can advise how to do this ( without using image shack or similar) I will try again I just want to upload. Otherwise just PM me your email address and I'll send them via email.

kuelmuel Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I just bent mine out, the actual lever that you put your foot on? They bend every time you fall off any way, I just stuck a big crowbar between the lever and the frame and gently levered it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
