Repop Bates Lever Mods
These lever set ups are stainless so that’s nice, but 12 pieces, overall bulk & a weight of about 7lbs isn’t.
They only come in a clutch side configuration so your expected to flop it over for a front brake application which means looking at the pivot bolts nut & washer as opposed to the sleek slotted screw head, flipping, fill, drill, & tap the pivot bolt was a must.
Then welding, blending & a one bolt conversion to the bar clamp seemed like a good idea as well.
Finally taking an inch out of the lever to make it a reasonable size.
I’ll mess with the reach curve of the lever once I get the throttle/grip on.

Norco Bicycles!
Over the past few months of calcaneus rehab I realized riding a mountain bike was producing the best results. I was loving the fit & feel of the 3 year old used Norco Sight I found on eBay and after some social media posts saying so the powers that be at Norco gave me the opportunity to be a Norco Ambassador. It turns out they’re into and appreciate the custom bike world & I love their mountain bikes. They’ve got me hooked up with their Sight C7.1. I’m a little over a 100 miles in and the BMX feel is all me, it climbs very well & it certainly beats grinding out road miles all the time.
Now I have to figure out suspension tuning.
Thank You Norco Bicycles!
