Will this kit affect my brake warranty?

Troubleshooting

Lever feels stiff after installation

Ensure the lever blade screw is not overtightened. Loosen slightly if necessary. Check that the new blade is correctly seated on the pivot.

Brake engagement feels inconsistent

Verify that the lever blade is properly aligned and secured. Double-check for any obstructions that might impede its movement. Ensure the main brake system is properly bled and adjusted.

New lever blade rattles or is loose

The lever blade screw may need to be tightened further. Ensure you are using the correct T10 Torx size and apply firm, but not excessive, pressure.
