Clipped a bar at the weekend resulting in a pretty spectacular barrel roll with miraculously few injuries to me. However, knocked my Tech3 lever. After straightening it on the bars noticed a drip of fluid from where the copper washer meets the lever, so called it a day.
Considering stainless fittings into alloy lever body, assumed the worst, and that the thread would be knackered in the lever body. However, back home I tightened up the fitting, and it now seems to hold pressure and there’s good feel to the brakes. Will bleed it properly and see if it still does.
I’ve got an uplift day booked in 2 weeks – would the hive mind think it’s ok, or would I be over cautious to replace fitting and lever body (and hose, because braided hoses are an ugly, unnecessary PITA)
