Try it without the support strap....this should have a kink in it to lie below the face of the cam spindle mounting and not foul the lever. My bike had a slot neatly worn in the lower suspension shroud where the brake rod had rubbed, so I bent my straight rod. It is a bit tight down there anyway, and a Z bend in a brake rod does not inspire confidence but needs must. I think the brake lever is unique to this model range, but always the chance it is wrong. Anyone got a handy reference as to how close the inner barrel lug is to the backplate on a working example?
