Rear Brake Pedal awkward

[metalguru]

Hi guys, does anyone else out there find the rear brake pedal difficult to use as it seems tucked under the clutch?  Is there an alternative available?  I don't get my knee down so don't mind if it sticks out a bit more.

I think you can get an extention part for it.
Look at a Web page called Altrider

+ 1 on altrider pedal enlarger first thing I did

I fitted the Altrider pedal enlarged too. Completely transformed the rear brake for me.  Much easier to use.

Actually found this on eBay, £12.67 with free postage

Fitted it today and it works well, had to replace two of the bolts for ones slightly longer and made sure to use a thread locker.

metalguru, looks fantastic! I think I will give a shot with this! I want to order sw-motech enduro/touring pegs and for sure it will work together nicely:)

Have you looked at Pivot Pegz? I had a set on my last bike and they were fantastic. Very wide platform that actually pivots a few degrees front and back giving you maximum contact with the pegs at all time. Aggressive tread if you off road or you can add a rubber top that zip ties on for street riding.

I'm not a big fan of this brake pedal either so I'll be looking into the Altrider option myself.

Did you guys go with the enlarger only or with the riser as well? I don't do a lot of off road, maybe a bit of gravel every now and then so not a ton of standing up other than stretching.

[ChrisS]

I didn't bother with the riser - same reasons as you mention. Prior to fitting the gadget it was difficult to put enough pressure on the pedal to hold the bike on a hill. No problem doing that now.

Looks very good the Pivot Pegz also, but I like much more the ones from sw-motech because I want to used them for touring especially, one or two times off road, where I can pull down the rubber inserts.

I personally don’t feel the need for this mod as I’m well used to the stock pedal & it just becomes second nature to use
