When I picked up my cycle today, the service manager made a point to tell me that I had been riding the brake lever, causing the rotor to overheat and warp. Really! 500 miles and the rotor warped?

I did not agree nor disagree, just took the warranty paperwork and hauled outta there. When I got home I devised this temporary "training aid" to help me keep my foot off the brake lever. Ideally, i'd like to find a big chunk of solid rubber and glue it onto the foot peg or better yet, find a longer foot peg so I can have more room to park my sz 11 shoe.

Here is a pic of a mod I made to keep my foot off the rear brake lever. Still need to do some cosmetic work and glue the top piece in place.
