Hidden Wire Brake Cutouts - Brompton

b***** I just put it back in lol

It was longer than I thought it would be about 10mm ?

I am sure you could extend or file/shorten the little plastic button bit down as required.

Thanks again.

It might be possible then to adjust by screwing in and locking it off with the nut.

I think it has convinced me to invest in a set.

I have to admit I too struggled to get all the bits required on the handlebars with my build and those Wuxing brakes do take up a considerable amount of the real estate available.

You wont regret it they are much better made than the Wuxing levers and have a sharper operation and are more rigid than the previous Brompton units which I also found also rattled when you were riding.

Maybe a little more expensive than similar generic levers but not a lot, have a nice Brompton transfer on them and you know have been designed to fit.

Just found an alternative switch, do not know if it is reliable:

It looks like it clamps to the cable and then compresses to operate a simple switch.. The one in this device uses the same principle and is a lot cheaper. You can either chuck the rest of the stuff or keep it and take a parallel output to your controller for brake cut-off. I used to use one of these on my first electric bikes. I swapped the LEDs for high power ones and made a remote switch for the indicators. The brake light was pretty cool and useful for a following friend, but the indicators were poor in bright sunlight but otherwise OK.
