Well, you are a super-jouncer rider up there on the Peak and Rampart. Not every brake lever can handle such greatness!! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

I know the silver lever part has some lateral play. They can wiggle by hand a little side to side. Since they are mounted sideways on your bike, I wonder if the rattling is from the levers being jounced. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Depress lever. Look inside opening. Remove plastic D shaped thingy. You should only see spring inside after. Thats how RBW did mine. Ride at own peril. ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Rattly levers on moustache bars. I haven’t noticed that with my couple different sets of non-aero levers. I’d probably try an Ultegra lever, assuming tighter tolerances. I might also disassemble the rattling lever and see if a couple layers of Tyvek (fed ex envelope) as bushings/shims might

Ah, the brakes in the uprights of the new Moustache bars. Gotcha. I want to the brakes in the curves. Apart from fast stopping in traffic, the only time I need my front brake is steep, often jouncy technical descents, and grip of the bars is far better in the curves than the upright/back

Ah - I meant mtb levers on the Albastache bars. I ask because I’m considering doing that on mine, using them as a more racy albatross. I know 23.8 clamps on mtb levers are few and far between, but there are some available. Just curious -I know albastache a we’re intended for road levers. --

Tom, They’re Shimano Tiagra brake levers. Aye, I’ve ridden MTB levers on the original Albatross my Hunqapillar came with, they wouldn’t work in the curves on the new Moustache bars. Why do you ask? With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Patrick, can def. see the weight shift - but I guess hard to tell how much more than you'd normally shift while descending that pitch on any bike. Thanks for sharing your experiments so we can all learn from them! Question: Which road brake lever are you using? Have you ever tried an
