Brake question

[WYsteph]

Just bored and was thinking about something I noticed at Jackson. I couldn't physically set the brake on the pros, not just one sled but all of them that were sitting there. It was just too stiff, I really didn't have strong enough grip to get it set. (Having little hands doesn't help.)

Is your sled that way? It's not a deal breaker or anything just something I'm curious about. Lol, if all else fails I'll get a small chunk of bike inner tube like I had on the old mountain max to set the brake.

Nope, I have to two hand mine to get the parking brake on. Sucks but NBD.

samer here, its hard to set and usually takes 2 hands

I pull the pin (#10) and take the brake lever (#9) off and do a bit (very little) on the area that contacts the master cylinder plunger... this gives the clearance you need.

Some are tight and some are not...

Same master cyl on the Dragons and IQ-Racers.
