Forgive the sniffles


Hi Joe,
Short pull arms installed and tested this weekend. Very straightforward with the video instructions. I was able to change the levers with the brakes installed on the bike. All worked fine on a 50 mile hilly ride.
Some photos attached, the brake level pulls shown are with the drilled arms and with yours fitted for comparison. As can be seen your levers are at least as good as my best efforts at drilling 2 mm holes and would be much better than the 'hacksaw' approach.
I'll share some more specific feedback directly.
All the best,
Alan
