bent brake lever

zazer

riiight, so today i got my new specialized P. All Mountain, very pleased with it, been riding it all day (including in the rain of course!), and over all immensly chuffed.

But, i fell off going down some stairs, and I managed to bend my left Avid Juicy 3 brake lever. Question, are they replaceable? I dont really want to be buying a whole new brake (or even just the bit on the handle bar) i just want to replace the lever its self. If its too much ill just ride as it is, not a big problem.

Thanks for any help with this,
Zazer

don't even bother replacing the lever, take it off and use a vice/hammer/mallet to put it back into shape, that works ok

how would i go about installing that? would it be possible to do it without having to empty the fluid/re-bleed it all?

I might just give it a go with the hammer..

On the bending it back with a hammer part don't. The lever is aluminium which has a nasty habit of snapping if you weaken it in that way. And one thing you don't want is your brake lever snapping on a downhill
