I put the lower lever back on.
I adjusted the handlebar lever all of the way IN (it was almost all the OUT, before I started this thread).
I had already screwed in the lower adjusting screw as you told me. I had to back it out a little to get some free play in the cable.
It still hits the frame, but not as much. I guess I could ride it this way.
edit: My thinnest feeler gauge (0.05mm) does not fit. If I allow it to be pulled in, there is an audible "thunk" when I pull it out.
But I am going to go buy a gallon of gas, anyway.
Measuring a frame for straightness
Re: Measuring a frame for straightness
So it's a bit better now that it's further back?
The only other thing you can do is put the arm in a vise and bend it a bit.
this is the secret formula:
One whack with a plastic hammer=1/8" more clearance.

What he's sayin', Rob, is that he's got a spare he'll sell ya when you bust it in half.
STOP!
If you set it up like this IT WILL NOT BREAK.
Hit it so the middle ends up a bit lower (closer to the flat surface)
You could not break it this way even if that was your intent.
