Was putting Pearl in the shed yesterday so I could have some room in the garage and the small spring for the pawl on the parking brake popped out. Parking brake was jammed, fortunately it was released. So today I got her back into the garage and opened up the brake. Had to take off the footboard to see and removed the pin the holds the pedal arm on. Looked at the manual to see how it was supposed to be and was able to put it all back together and working. I was afraid I had broke something and would have to wait for parts but all was good.
I carry a small strap with velcro I put on the front brake lever that I use when I have to lift her in the garage so I wouldn't have missed any riding, but nice not to have to wait on parts. She's a 15 so she has the footbrake.

Good deal. Had that happen to me once also...thought it was broken, but it had just come apart.

Installed footboard spacers. So far so good on the test ride. Group ride tomorrow will be the real test.

Nice. This is one of my personal favorite mods.

After your group ride, leave a review letting on the product page letting us know how you like the extra space.

I used the DK floorboard spacers. The first mod I did. It does make a difference.
