We have upgraded the whole braking system on the latest models.

If anyone needs a new brake lever let me know and I will put some spares on the next container.

Thanks for the info David (P.S. I've PM'd you about the brake lever).

I'd be interested to know what upgrades you've made.

Is there any possibility of posting a description (with pretty pictures ) of how to adjust the front disk brake - I'm still a bit mystified as to whether I need to tighten the brake cable, twiddle the red knob, or do both.

Regards,

Elephants
