Hey guys,

I got my FBD levers on my bike finally. I can't say that I'm 100% happy. The fit was great, but there's a lot of up/down movement. They're tightened on the clipon pretty tightly. The movement is coming from one of the screws on the lever itself. I can't seem to adjust it because a socket wrench won't hold the nut while I try to turn the allen bolt. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's some pics for you guys, I apologize in advance for the cell phone pics. I'll get a decent camera and go out there later to get some better pics.

Assuming they are installed properly, you might want to try a small nylon washer to fill the gap that allows the play. You get what you pay for...

They are definitely properly installed. I can see where the play is. I just can't get a socket to stay put and adjust the allen bolt. I'll try the nylon washer idea

If its the pivot bolt, over tightening may cause it to break the perch or prematurely wear.

It is the pivot bolt. So I shouldn't use a nylon washer in there?

I think he's saying that if you find a socket that fits properly and you tighten the bolt, don't go overboard and break stuff, like said perch.

Update: Fixed it. I can't take the credit though. dan gliballs PMed me a solution. I took a small flathead screwdriver and held the nut in place while I worked on the allen bolt.

Those that said you get what you pay for, the levers are perfect. They were just a little loose. Now they're just as good any set of Pazzos

I like them. Looks like I'll be ordering the same set

Do it! You won't regret it. And you can't beat the price for $55 shipped. I ordered mine on Friday evening and had them in my hands Tuesday early afternoon.

These were the levers I ordered. Didn't have any install issues, personally.

Don't go with the gold, most people aren't happy with the color. FDB himself said he didn't think the gold was a good match because it is a tough color to get right.

love mine, little to no up and down play
