xTrainer - Lowering Rear Brake Pedal

[xplodee]

Hey All-

Anyway to lower the rear brake pedal? When viewed from the side my rear brake pedal rests higher than the footpeg. I think this is normal for this bike, however it doesn't really work well with my riding position and style. Anyway to lower it? I need about an inch for sure.

Back behind the pivot is the master cylinder. There's a nut that can be adjusted to lower the tip. Also a set screw at the pivot preventing the pedal from returning too much.

The nut that weantright refers to can be exchanged for a thinner one if you need to go lower yet.

Will try this but it already looks as if the screw adjustment has already been maxed out to lower it.

Remove the lock nut, and use plumbers tape on the threads. That gets you several more millimeters of drop.

You can also fashion a 'stop' on to the lever made from a notched piece of hardwood, holding it down lower,  before it engages.

Any chance that you have a pic?

Not sure if these help at all.....

I eventually made my own platform, to get 5mm more drop, even after cutting 2.5mm out of the pedal...

I don't have a pic of the clevis work

That is a very elegant solution to lowering the brake pedal.

So far I have been able to adjust my brake low enough (kind of). I find it a pain that the return spring pulls the pedal all the way back and during brake application, you have to take up all that slop prior to getting any application on my XT.  Has anyone been able to implement a return stop?

I may have to take a deeper dive at this in the winter.

Thanks again!

Well, so we are different. I rised mine about 10 mm.
