We've had feedback from some customers who've had crashes or run into rough bike racks in the city. Sometimes, it's hard to tell when or how the lever got deformed. The lever usually has a slight pre - load bend before installation. It acts as the spring, while the pin serves as a bearing surface for pivoting. With excessive force, the lever can get bent out of shape, or even torn from the mount and lost. Specification: Brand: Spurcycle

Using your Spurcycle replacement lever and hammer is quite straightforward. First, make sure to install the lever properly, aligning it with the pre - load bend as it should be. When using your bike, just operate the lever as you normally would to perform its function. As for maintenance, regularly check the lever for any signs of wear or deformation. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace it promptly. Avoid exposing the lever to excessive force, like hitting it against hard objects or using it in a very rough manner. This will help ensure the long - term performance of your Spurcycle replacement lever and hammer.
