Hi Ray-
Yes, I used a simple cordless drill (no tricks, as it is pretty
straightforward). Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any
specific questions. Thanks,
Dave

I didn’t even take the levers apart. The part to worry about is where to
drill and what size holes to make. You need to remove a circlip to remove
the barrel shaped cable stop. There are 2 bushings, one for each side,
Dave,
Since there has been so much appreciation for your TRP lever hack here, I
was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your method with us? Did you
just use a cordless drill for the hole? Any trick to moving the anchor stop
to its new hole?

Wow. I've been looking at my TRP levers and thinking they would be easy to
modify to long pull by doing exactly what you've done. I've been perfectly
happy with the Tektro RL 520, but the TRPs have a really nice shape so I
think this may be the route I take with my MB-1 that has been converted
Followed your link to your Esty store. Great patches. Order a couple of
Bike Tinkers Union patches.

Brilliant hack, how much material did you have to remove while drilling?
Just a good old fashioned cordless drill get the job done?
Also, beautiful bike. Looks like a super fun and capable ride, enjoy!

I agree with Phil
That is a seriously useful brakelever hack. I don't have a bike for that
hack, but I might do it anyway so I'll be ready next time the opportunity
arises. Definitely patch-worthy!

That’s a great addition to the bike tinkering knowledge base. I’m pretty
sure I’ll use that in the mid to near future. I’d be honored to send you a
free Bike Tinkers Union patch and sticker set for that idea.
Pick what
I believe you are correct, Igor.

That's a clever trick with the TRP levers. I have a set waiting in the
wings for a future build that I had resigned to using cantilevers with but
I'll keep that in mind when the day comes. I don't know that I would trust
myself to risk damaging such a nice pair of levers, but I'll certainly
I like the gold bling on the Rene Herse cranks.
