Hi Guys,

Could someone please post a picture of the hand brake as I am having trouble fitting it as it doesnt disengage, I think I might have the bracket mounted too high.

p.s. this is the break which holds down the left foot pedal to operate the disc break.

Thanks

hi
here is a parts list with diagrams for a super major, perhaps this will help.

thanks for that parts list its great, but it doesnt show where the top bracket mounts on.

I have assembled it the way it shows in the pictures.

thanks

Is this any help?

Thanks Brian, that is exactly how I fitted it but the teeth are permanently meshed GGGRRRRRR. I must be having a stupid moment or somthing lol.

But it is assembled exactly how it shows in that parts list. To be honest I dont think that you can really put it on the wrong way.... or can you lol.

Thanks

Thanks Everyone,

I figured it out lol. it was a mixture of having new footplates and a little bit of spring in the bracket that goes under the break pedals which holds the ratchet on.

All I did is tightend the two bolts up really tight on the front of the footplate, and hey presto the bloody handbreak works again.

I knew it was something stupid lol.

Thanks.
