Parking Brake Replacment

[grhm]

I've just acquired a 2nd hand Pashley Picador trike and the brake lever that also acts as the parking brake is very wobbly. Looks like a bit is missing - I can pull the brake lever towards the bars but it also moves about 2 inches up and down.

When the parking brake is engaged, the lever sags and in so doing slackens the cable enough that the pads no longer touch the rims.

As the plan was to use the trike in an around town, and town is very hilly, a parking brake is kinda essential - don't want to pop into a shop and have the trike roll away.

Any one know where I can source a replacement lever? Needs to be compatible with either a caliper or hub brake (the trike has both).

Cheers,
Graham

Visit your local bike shop for (any non 'V') brake lever and call Pashley for one of their plastic in-line parking brake widgets.

If you have a problem pm me, we have levers with a parking brake button.
