Default Brake Lever Adjuster

Hi Guys

I have had the Hurricane for about two months now, and am loving it.

One adjustment I am considering is shortening the front brake level as I am having trouble comfortably reaching the lever. This seems simple enough, just wind the adjuster in. However, is there anything that I need to consider before doing this? Will it affect the brakes?

Cheers

Flip

Uh, what brake lever adjuster? You must have an aftermarket lever.

If you have an adjuster, that's what it's for. Just be sure not to bring it in so far that you don't get the full range of motion on the lever. You don't want to short your max braking torque. With braided lines, my lever only goes through about a 3/4" arc from off to full-on.
