Title: CRG levers Reversible? Post by: koko64 on September 14, 2014, 04:53:05 PM I got a CRG lever and it looks like it can be swapped between clutch and brake function by unbolting the adjustment mechanism and swapping it to the other side. Just a few bolts to be undone and the components swapped to flip the lever over. Its a large pivot clutch lever that I will use on a brake master. I know that there are some extra parts needed sometimes to actuate the clutch or brake switches, but besides that this looks quite modular in design. I'm not using a clutch/brake switch for this application.

Tiny springs and ball bearings. Both adjustment levers have a little tongue and groove arrangement that mates to the cam, and detents for the ball/spring. I imagine they even annoy the assemblers at CRG, who likely have jigs and spare bits and lots of practice. I've had several sets apart for cleaning and lubing to un-stick the adjuster, and others for re-anodizing. It will build your watch making skills. ;D Title: Re: CRG levers Reversible?

Just pay attention to what goes where.

Post by: otter1 on September 24, 2014, 04:00:35 PM I have swapped them out when selling, crashes, etc required - by turning them upside down.
I made the mistake (ONCE) of trying to take them apart to make the "adjustment clicker" be right side up or correct color - ball bearing and small springs - LOST!! on garage floor - LOL. Don't do it. |
