and finally
The front brake lever position will not give you optimum braking - should be at right angles to the cable when applied.

EDIT: Maybe it's just the angle that I'm seeing it at.

Nope, you are correct Topdad, it's a work in progress. I just haven't been able to connect it all when I select the next notch on the lever. Once I have that nutted out and a few other teething issues I'll be very happy. I guess it's the movement from the build stage to the roadworthy stage.
I must say Topdad that I am surprised that the 1st frame shot never caught peoples eye. That was a killer for me. i might see if i can get it sorted one day. meanwhile i resorted to another one.
