The bushings for my Campy SR brake lever blades:I thought they were metal-
aluminum- they looked anodized- till listmembers educated me yesterday. Got
one lever in-then I really mangled the other edges trying to get the other
lever in. By time you fish around for that pivot hole...But I bought a bunch
more and will get several more chances. It looks sooooooooo easy but it's
not.
A tight tight fit and once deformed on the edge, well you might as well
start with a fresh bushing. Maybe I will get it right next time.
