Caught my knee on lever and snapped it off…..works if I stick an Allen key in it 8)

Anybody done similar and recommend a solution and potential cost??

Ta…..

A mate did the same thing a few weeks ago. Cost him 90 quid for a new lever I’m afraid

allen key it is then

Hah……think the hex key was ok for a bit…..qr clamp a better short term solution……

I had thought I had seen prior threads about a £100 for a new lever……boo hiss…..might as well buy a new one and have a spare post!!!

Mate of mine has just done the same. No button kits in the UK but as is so often the way, you can order them from bike components.de and believe it or not, they’re cheaper!

button kit can be bought for around 40 quid, hopefully you haven’t scratched the insides with your allen key!

So is this all i need when eventually i snap mine. 🙂

I can stomach a 40 spot but £100.???
As said.You might as well buy a new post..

You all said I was mad when I said I prefer cable 😉

Sorted…..koo bikes…..lever for 80……needed a new hose anyway with new barb so worked out best bet……

Woah,i know everyones minted on singletracl but why not just by a quick release seatpost instead? 😆

Because you can’t bring a traditional seatpost/clamp back up without stopping. Once you’ve had a dropped, you’ll understand that it’s not the dropping that’s most useful, it’s the bringing it back up

Hah – not sure spending £80 makes a man minted!!

Having a CC kind of does I suppose?? 😉

Broken seatpost lever PLUS hose was about to go…..everyone OOS on hose kits so not got round to it yet…..buy the whole thing for a just a little bit more.

It was weird having to stop all the time to finish of yesterdays ride…..

You just lose your flow…..
