When Martin Leech (Knowledge) was making them, he made them in 2.5mm and 3mm.

It was incredibly easy to pull the cable tighter from the foot pedal side. I just loosened the nut, pulled the cable with some pliers, and tightened it back down. Have solid braking now!

Not on a budget and it was a bgm one that failed , i,ve got some fitted on a few of my scooters and have also in the past and never had a problem , probably just a faulty / one off ?

Worth checking if the lever on the engine is actually on the correct spline. I was cursing one of the qr cables recently that was too long when I realised I'd actually fitted the lever one spline too far forward. Dope.

I'm glad I always take a few extra looks before complaining these days.
