great information GT - what is done when the safety flops around like a fish? (seriously)

Hi Ed, you can actually bend (ever so slightly) the top part of the safety lever, (probably in a soft jaw vice) and get the correct tension you desire? Sometimes, a replacement lever is required if it seems non-compatible with the frame?.. (too loose in the pivot) A custom retaining pin might also help tighten up the lever. Then go to step two, it could be, again, billy goat stiff just from being in or out too far at the lever/bar juncture?.. Best, til....lat'r....GT
