2020 Turbo levo "drop down" lever tears the skin from my thumb

[scott eckerman]

I have my levers positioned exactly as I want them - I will not move them. The drop down seat lever tears into my thumb. Does anyone make an extension to move the lever in towards the center of the bike. Other options..thanks.

Pics? Without knowing what you've got, it's hard to advise

Can you clarify "tears into my thumb"? Do you mean when you operate the lever? Or is the lever rubbing on your knuckle while you are gripping the bars?

What about running the dropper lever clamp inboard of your brake lever instead? Do your brakes support SRAM MMX? If so that might be an option - although you'd need a different lever. I'm a big fan of the PNW Loam which gives you horizontal adjustment as well as reach.

I cut mine down a bit with a Dremel, its now the same shape as the gear lever.

Can you post a picture of your set up - we can then offer a solution, as how the dropper lever is clamped will dictate the options, which may include alternative levers you could look at

Still need pictures - it's really hard to visualise what the problem is.

Do you have tiny, Trump-size, hands?

If not, move your levers inward.

Assume sram. They are uncomfortable by default, how people can ride with the dropper and gear shifter encroaching on grip space I don't know.
If I'm unlucky enough to have sram brakes I swap the adaptors left to right so the shifter and dropper levers attach inboard to the brake rather than outboard.

Thanks, that seems logical...

Based on how little he's bothered to tell us, the bike shop will be as baffled as we are.

Based on pure logic, I spoke directly with the number one Turbo Levo rider in America (Mr. Mullins). He also understood the basis of logic and it made total since relative to my comment. Admittedly, I should have said only 2020 Turbo Levo owners respond - sorry my bad seriously and it will not happen again. All is good and thanks for your comment.

 

[R120]

Pure logic would be to post up a picture of the set up and let us try and help!

Anyway glad you go it sorted, the bike has nothing to do with the dropper remote though, thats all about the brake/lever combo

Who is Mr. Mullins?

 

[Jamze]

Charlie Mullins eMTB GNCC National Champ I assume. Not the plumber.
