Brake Lever Adjustment - Brompton P Line Bedienungsanleitung

BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTMENT

In order to achieve a comfortable and safe brake lever position, it is important to spend some time ensuring
the lever is correctly adjusted. Depending on your hand size, you can adjust the distance of the lever from
the bar; the lever can be set to be operated by one, two or three fingers.
The left and right hand levers are specifically designed for their respective positions; the lever is fitted with
the clamp bolt facing upwards (fig. 20).

1. LEVER ANGLE
The range of lever angle adjustment is restricted by the cable exit path, if the lever is angled too high it will
cause problems for the operation of the brakes and in folding the bike.
When the bike is folded, the right hand brake cable housing will contact the fork leg. The lever angle
should be set so that the cable housing lightly contacts the fork leg; too much contact will bend and dam-
age the housing. For this reason, the lever blade features a kink allowing the lever blade to sit higher than
the lever body, this offers a more comfortable position without affecting the cable housing path.
2. LEVER POSITION
The position of the lever on the bar can be adjusted to move the lever closer or further from the end of the
handlebar grip. This adjustment will allow the lever to be positioned for one, two or three finger braking.
Positioning the lever for one finger braking will give a more secure grip on the bar but allow you to apply
less braking force. Three finger braking will allow you to apply maximum braking force but reduce bar grip.
