You've got lever "thingies"!!!

Now, yours will officially be a CB

Your CB is complete.

Citius, Altius, Fortius

Thank you gentlemen. Install is complete. At first, I thought, "You have got to be kidding." Persistence pays off, however, and after I learned the proper technique on the first lever, the second RLET went on relatively easily. What technique is that, you ask? I believe each man must walk his own path on the journey towards CB salvation.

Okay, fine. Twist my arm, why don't you? I sprayed just a dab of WD-40 on the inside of the RLET, used a shop rag to grip the RLET, and with the opening rounded onto the end of the lever, I pushed straight onto the lever. No twisting. Just a straight push onto the lever. This put the RLET about half-way onto the ball end of the lever. One more push and slight twist and the RLET was installed. The first one took me a few minutes to figure out. The second one went on in about five seconds.

Getting those things on was almost as much work as the fork gaiters! Tricky little devils.

Once again, you're right. Don't you ever get tired of that? Must be exhausting.

Hm, until now I've thought, it's as simple as putting 'em into really hot water to get 'em weak and just push them over the lever?!

May be, I should be more daunted by RLETs. Have to get some...
