|   Avid SD Lever ? | man w/ one hand
Jul 25, 2003 8:55 AM | | There is a screw located on the lever handle @ the pivot pin. It seems
to screw into the pivot pin. What is this screw for ? What does it adjust ? When I screw it in or out nothing seems to change ????...? |

While lever construction is pretty nice (pin rides on bushings and lever is secured to pin), it's not very durable. Once that set-screw stops holding the lever against the pin well, there will be a LOT of top to bottom play in the lever. This happens to me with all SD levers on rear brake lever only, due to trials moves (locking up the rear wheel).
For normal use, those levers are awesome. |
