The configuration that I think I should be using:
Aluminum lever stop. Flat plastic washer. Lever. Thin keyed washer. Concave keyed top cover thingie - sez patent camp...yattayatta. Wingnut deal.
Am I missing anything? Do I have too much in there?
Thatz it, Why don;t they work? More specifics about what happening.
Bike looks great, and even more important, it will be a sweet ride.
What are you doing for pedals?
Is this gonna be a garage queen or a daily/frequent rider?
