    Campy Brake Lever--right one sticks out farther?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    My right (right lever when riding) brake lever sticks out forward more than my left lever. Is this normal?

    I took a look at it and changing the cable tension does not change the lever position. Additionally, there seems to be a built in stop for the brake that makes it naturally stick out farther.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Ana - could it be that your brake is unhooked? On the photo you attached, inside the yellow circles is a pin that can be pushed one way or the other to engage/disengage the brake (to remove the wheel).

    Pull the lever in as if you are braking & push the pin in & see if that works.

    No, it is not normal for one lever to be put further than the other.

    Good luck!
