I was on my bike today and when i went to use the rear brake pedal, i noticed it was a bit high. Is there any way to lower it, as in get it closer to the ground or angle it down closer to the ground??

 

The brakes is one think I would not play with. I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the brake peddle or not. As long as the brakes are working properly I would not mess with it.

 

I really don't agree , part of riding a bike well is being comfortable on it, and being able to use the controls. The rear brake lever is adjustable if I remember correctly. I think you just adjust it by the nut on the bottom of the master cylinder, where it connects with the lever itself. Let me know if you need more help, I can try taking a picture. Also check out your manual, it might even tell you how to adjust it.

 

ya everett is correct. There is an adjusting nut on the thread that connects the master cylinder in the rear to the rear brake lever. Your best bet is to adjust until you like the feel. Just don't get too tight towards the rubber of the master, you can damage the master cylinder seals inside. Its really hard to screw up though, just take your time and adjust as you like.
