RE: [ST] Front Brake lever

["Rick & Joyce" <rnjwes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Appreciate the information Fred, late or not.  We all seem to be busy
these days.  I'm going to try to straighten the twisted foot peg from
my February ice crash.  A few questions to make sure nothing was lost
in translation:

You wrote: 
>> ...to straighten twisted alloy:
>>Rubb some soap to apply a thin layer on the part 

I assume you mean to use a bar of soap as opposed to liquid, no?

>>and warm it w/ a gaz torch up to the point the soap begin to get
tained, and not more ( it would melt).

I know controlling the temperature is critical to keep from damaging
the alloy.  Do you mean... 'the soap begins to turn a tan color'?

>>In the same time, apply gently the strength to straiten it.

>>The soap has to advantages: indicating the max temp for alloy and
protect from corroding during warm up.  Let it cool down and wash it.

Again, thanks!
