Author Message   Buellinachinashop Posted on Sunday, June 24, 2007 - 06:13 pm:        When my gf and I returned home from the Milwaukee Mile last night, my bike was found dumped on the curb in front of her place. The damage was minor except for a curled up brake lever, it didn't brake, it curled. Anybody ever try to heat one up to straighten? or should I just buy a new one and be done with it?   Bads1 Posted on Sunday, June 24, 2007 - 06:35 pm:        John, Buy a new lever. If you try to straighten it,it may break doing so anyways. Lever's are pretty cheap anyway's. Don't risk it. Lets say you do get it back straight... it'll be weak and may leave you stranded when it decides to let go.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Sunday, June 24, 2007 - 06:42 pm:        Good point Dana. Damn kids, I knew I should have put it in the garage. Off to Hal's tomorrow night for a new lever and touch up paint.   Bads1 Posted on Sunday, June 24, 2007 - 06:50 pm:        That suck's. Wouldn't ya just love to be say 20 some feet away when someone pull's that shit?? I'd shove that frigg'n lever up his ass and tell him to show it to the parts guy at Hal's and say "I need one just....ouch just like this".   Buellinachinashop Posted on Monday, June 25, 2007 - 12:17 pm:        17.20 isn't bad for the lever. I already have plans on baiting the culprits.
