Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide is for those looking to replace their brake lever assembly on a mountain bike. It is a fairly simple task that does not require much prior bike knowledge. It only requires a 5mm Allen key, the lever assembly, isopropyl alcohol, and the bike.
What you need
-
-
-
Using a 5mm allen key, loosen the lever assembly from the handle.
-
Slide the assembly off of the handle.
-
-
-
Pour a light amount of isopropyl alcohol through your grip and slide it back onto the handle.
-
-
-
Line up your lever assembly back into place.
-
Tighten the screw with the allen key to secure it.
-
-
-
-
Install the brake cable into the lever housing.
-
Take the brake cable and feed it into the lever pull.
-
-
-
Feed the cable into the lever assembly slot and through the barrel adjuster.
-
Use the barrel adjuster to tighten the cable intro place.
-
Ask FixBot
Now your lever assembly should be properly hooked up and ready to function! Giving the lever a couple test pulls to make sure it is applying brake pressure is recommended.
