World-wide brake lever shortage?
My mechanic has been waiting over a month for Buddy's left brake lever. Anybody else experiencing this?

If it's a Genuine dealer, have you tried begging them to take one from one of their inventory bikes (to be replaced when the part comes in)? Many shops keep a "parts" bike for this purpose... though if they do, the left brake lever may have already been taken from it, since it's a popular part to break. But even if they don't, this time of year they probably aren't selling bikes very quickly, so they aren't likely to lose a sale because one of their floor models is temporarily missing a part.

As a looooong time rider I've learned to keep certain items in my personnal inventory.......levers being one of them.
Order two.....one to repair, one to have on hand and stock the other side as well.
Somehow, the bike knows you have a replacement on hand and you will never break one again......kinda weird, but that seems to be how it works.
