brenin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi, I have Grimeca clutch and brake master cylinders on Beta Rev 3 08. I have seen forged levers that will fit both types, but you seem to just have to remove the plactic bushing and use the Grimeca pivot pin. Is this correct? Can i just buy any lever? thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 i use the longer ajp levers - remove the plastic bush and use existing pin is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenin Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks! on the subject of levers, I was wondering about the merit of an idea that is current in mtb riding......the current vogue is to move the m/c a long way inboard on the bars, so that the lever is pulled by 1 or at most 2 fingers. As its mounted so far in board, your outer 2 or 3 digits stay hold of the bar, and also dont get squashed by the lever. You are using your strongest finger on the very end of the lever, so have maximum mechanical advantage..... What do people think?

pindie Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I only use one finger ( braking). Is your lever adjusted right and the system bled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've just added some new Apico levers to my bike. The bend is good and they feel shorter even if they aren't. Also, have you noticed: a) MTB bars are getting narrower in width not wider (easier to fit between the trees) and pedals for serious dirt biking and downhill are 100mm+ front to back. That's quite a bit more than say S3 pegs. I wonder if bigger pegs would give us more options to move our weight forward and backward.

madmostin Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 That would be nice. Some real pivot pegs having downhill pedals. Why not just get clipped in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
