    Dear Mr. Jones,
    As a newbie roadbiker who had absolutely no idea about the mounting of these sort of brake levers, I just wanted to thank you for being such an amazing guy for showing it in such a simple yet detailed manner!

    You cant always trust the bar markings!!! I was wondering why I always had constant discomfort, it was driving me crazy. Turns out even though they were set the same, the left was a good 5-8mm higher! The string was really useful for this.

    Very good video, enjoyed the string level part. I always put a yardstick across the top of the levers and used a small bubble level on top of the yardstick. You have to make sure the bike itself is as straight as possible because that affects the leveling process. Will probably try the string method next time. Great how you went through all the different types of levers.

      Pull the rubber hoods forward from the back. Look on the outside of each lever. Once you know the location, you can use a long 5mm hex and reach them from the front by sliding it under the hood.

    @muratguc5245 3 роки тому

    No matter how much torque I apply to my brake levers, they are not gripping my steel retro bars as tight as the ones on my modern road bike. As a result, they tend to turn inward anytime I apply a little force. Any tips how to make sure they grip the bars? Thanks for the amazing content!

    • @parktool

      Chrome steel is a difficult surface to grip. Double check the diameter. They should be 23.8mm. Also see the clamp strap is not deformed or damaged.

      That can help on carbon fiber bars. If the levers do not secure well at tightening the bolt, some paste will increase the friction between bar and lever body.

    I have a 2023 Marin Four Corners and, when I have the bars at the height I like them, the bar ends contact the top tube when they’re turned sharply. Should I sacrifice comfort to avoid this?
    Thanks!

    • @parktool
      @parktool  9 місяців тому +1

      That is a good question. You will only turn sharpy when crashing, so don't crash. If you are racing, crashing is certainly a possibility. If you have to raise it a lot, say 2-3 cm, you certainly will change your posture and your comfort level. Sometime you can rotate the bars as well, but again that changes your posture on the bike. Some padded tape on the top tube can help protect the finish, but is not the nicest look. The bigger issue might be not damaging the brake levers that strike it. Good luck.
