[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 221806, member: 3959"] In my defense, I did, just without the required knowledge, which I hopefully bestow below. Everything was tight. Pull pressure was normal. Cable wasn't frayed, seated correctly. I just didn't know that it was too tight. Inexperience. I assumed that if the lever fit whatever perch it was being put into, that it would work - MY BAD. Lesson learned. I didn't realize the[I] importance of the relationship between the handle and the perch[/I], which was the issue. I assumed since one fit, it must be right, or at least would work. After looking at it, and having an engineering background, now it makes perfect sense. A 1mm difference in pull, makes a HUGE difference in performance/usability. I under-estimated the importance of having a [I]matched [/I]set. I dont type this looking for sympathy, or to make excuses for my inexperience, but just so that anyone who might view this thread onward might learn from my mistakes. Now I know better, and I thank you ALL for the learning experience. Best part of it all, it was a cheap ($15.00) fix. [/QUOTE]
