Nitto B201 Risers - Brake Suggestions Please

my mate just got some of these from freshtripe and i have cut them down for her. thing is her current brake, can't remember what make etc. is a little large for the diameter of the bar. i know i could shim it somehow but would rather get her a nicer brake lever for it anyway - appreciate any suggestions peeps

you can get a nitto shim

i've always used a shim where appropriate - i think goldfingers even come with a shim in the packet.

my dirt harry did.

i think Em might take offence.

Ooh, that was good. :D

Dirty harry are bent so you can fit them on a curve and come a with a shim.

Jonny, i've got a de-adonized Acor cross top lever (thanks Mark if you're lurking). Doesn't fit the clamp point on my nitto's. Its the third lever i'd tried, so I also have these two if you want one? . Can bring 'em SLondon drinks on Monday for a gander...

Jonny, I've got a spare set of Nitto shims if needed, could bring 'em on Monday?

But tbh, I think the lever should just fit on flush. I have a B259 on my bike which are the same width. I was trial & erroring with my goldfinger and fitted spot-on, even on the curve of the bar

22.2mm

Dia-Compe Tech 4. Oldschool bmx levers. Fit perfect and not bulky like the goldfinger.
Good colours too.

I've got loads and loads of dirt harrys lying about (well 2) if needed.

NoBrakes TM?

HA???

scott edited it.

he said something like, 'if you've cut them down you can fit a brake lever on em"

so i came up with a witty risposte. it's kind of dead now 'cos scott took away the first bit.

ok, back to sleep everyone.

i'm sure the dia tech gold finger will fit?

PJ IS GENIUS!!!!!

I thought he said:
"If you fit Em into a Nitto RB3214xyz.69 you can cut her down into the shape of a giant swan and sail her across the Thames with a brake lever across her arse."

Actually.

If you cut EM down you can even fit a brake lever on her, across the top, no need for a shim, just use regular clamp and bob's your mother's brother, she stops like a train hitting a brick wall, with a pink brake cable of course...;)

i think.

shame your 'humour' got lost in a sea of messy, unfinished, garbled HTML there.

heheeee....ok...i'll give you one....:)

oh...

as much as i'd love to play this game all day, and it is mighty funny, i have to go out now.

cheers guys, snowy could you bring those levers down to south london beers on monday dude. and BRM, as discussed last night dig out a shim. will try out a few options and see what's best.

goldfinger not really an option as she likes to get at least two fingers, preferably three on the lever. bit of a panic merchant like.
