During a brakes adjustment this afternoon I managed to strip the thread on my front brake arm (you
know the bolt that threads into the arm to hold the cable? I stripped arm that it threads into).
The guy in the LBS recommended a pair of Avid levers (£15). As they didn't have any deores and I
really need front brakes I went with them.
Does anyone have any experience with these? I got the feeling that I was being sold the only arms
they had in stock. Especially any special tips for fitting them properly.
Aside from that, I didn't tighten the old ones too much. Certainly I don't think I over-tightened,
and previously the cable had been slipping through slowly. They're only 6 months old and I'd really
like Shimano to send me a new set/voucher/refund. Anyone had any experience here?
cheers
