Rear brake lever question

[nzspokes]

My rear brake lever on my KDX I struggle to get on to. My right ankle doesnt twist that way well. So is there a good way to extend the lever out? Currently its not bent in but I have considered bending it out a bit to help.

Any ideas?

Not owned a bike yet where the pedal was in the "stock" position. Apart from the single brand-new one, and that only lasted until the first off...

Obviously the further out the pedal goes, the more likely it is to get hooked on something, but if it's tucked in where you can't use it, you're likely to bend more than a lever!

I had that problem with my dr, I just cut it off and made my own which worked well, I had to lengthen the gear lever too.

I think I will try some bending. Its a steel lever anyway.

Stick a brake snake on it to help with the catching on things once bent out.
Keeps bushes out from between the lever and frame etc and should stop it being bent out excessively in an off.
here's an example.... www.thumperfaq.com/brake_snake.htm (http://www.thumperfaq.com/brake_snake.htm)

brake levers / gear levers... just postion & bend the buggers to suit... it's really that easy...:yawn:
