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.

I've just had one of the new batch of bikes delivered and the front brake action is still poor, if I pull the lever to the grip the bike slows gently. Is there a way I can tell if I have the right lever?
I also notice that the disk isn't central in the caliper but the adjustment is as far as it can go, is there a way to sort this?
I'd rather do this myself as I want to do my own maintenance and the shop is a pain to get to.
