Lever clamp won't close on bend
« on: July 16, 2008, 10:27 PM »
I can't get a lever on the bend of my bars tried bending the clamp and bust it, what lever can I use? The tubing also widens at the bend. Any suggestions?
Cheers

Only some levers can be used on the bend. I forget what ones, but they use it as a selling point so it should be easy to find them

no worries, still not sure that lever is what I need, what I want is something where the clamp can be made any size without it stopping the bolt from lining up with the thread? The tubing is quite wide at the point where I need the lever to go

I already busted a 77 lever trying to hammer the clamp bit so it was wider, stupid idea anyway coz the bolt wouldn't line up after. I think I'll try a lever for oversized bars and wedge something in the gap
