Tromps Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What is the purpose of the break leavers abilty to "snap" forward on Juicy Ultimate breaks???
GFishy Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 No question is dumb - if you don't know, ask
dirtrider Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Not such a dumb question after all . I don't know , now please tell .
intern Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 crikey I don't know either. I guess there is such a thing as a stupid answer and you just read it.
NotSoBigBen Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Not a dumb question as it has been asked oft before .... The only reasonably logical reason I have seen is that when you have taken the wheels out the bike if you snap them forward you will have less chance of pulling them 'fully' with no rotor, thus preventing a trip to the price fixing LBS .........
MintSauce Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Supposedly makes it harder to depress them when you remove the wheel....which is not a good thing   Â
Spud Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What is the purpose of the break leavers abilty to "snap" forward on Juicy Ultimate breaks??? Another dumb question Tromps! Whats a break lever? Is it similar to a brake lever? Ok just kidding? Getting bored and leaving in a few moments. enjoy da weekend....will check for the answer on Thursday cause I dont know either.
NotSoBigBen Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Not such a dumb question after all . I don't know ' date=' now please tell .[/quote'] Â He was asking the question of the more astute technical experts amongst us ........
Tromps Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 So it really has no purpose???? I apologise that the LEAVER ate some tree bark and added and A for it's lever... or something like that.
loneranger Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Some Moto-X bikes also has the same function on the levers.. would it not be to prevent braking the levers in the case of a crash?? Thats what I think...
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What is the purpose of the break leavers abilty to "snap" forward on Juicy Ultimate breaks??? Â I was told by the rep that it is for when the wheels have been removed then you push it forward.... to help with accedently hitting the brakes and compressing the pads together.... and then having to pry them apart again to get rotor back in....

I don't know ' date=' now please tell .[/quote']  ? He was asking the question of the more astute technical experts amongst us ........    Good then that exclude me as I am still trying to figure out that 20mm thru axle !

Tromps Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 according to my sources, it is serves only purpose during the assembly of the actual break lever.
crudmonkey Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 When the wheel is out, put in a spacer, that little bit of forward movement won't make any difference.The only real benefit is to protect the lever in a crash.
