What should be done if the brake lever is worn, loose, aged, etc.?

When the brake lever is worn, loose, aged, etc., these problems will not only affect the stability and effect of the brakes, but may also pose a serious threat to the safety of the rider. Brake lever wear is usually caused by long-term use, frequent braking or improper use. Worn brake levers may reduce the braking effect, make the brakes less sensitive, or even cause brake failure.
It is recommended to carefully check the brake levers at regular intervals, especially the contact surface between the brake levers and the brake pads. If the brake lever is found to be severely worn, a new brake lever should be replaced immediately. At the same time, if the brake pads are also thinned or damaged due to wear, they should also be replaced. If you are not sure how to replace the brake lever or brake pads, it is recommended to seek the help of a professional maintenance personnel to ensure that the replacement process is correct.
Loose brake levers may be caused by improper installation, loose screws or long-term use. Loose brake levers will affect the stability and effect of the brakes and make the brakes unreliable. Use tools to check whether the mounting screws of the brake levers are loose. If loose, tighten them immediately. If the brake lever itself is loose, you may need to reinstall or adjust the position of the brake lever. During installation, ensure that the gap between the brake lever and the brake pad is appropriate to ensure the braking effect. When installing or adjusting the brake lever, you can apply an appropriate amount of lubricant to the screws and threads to reduce friction and wear.
The aging of the brake lever is usually caused by long-term exposure to harsh environments. Aging brake levers may become brittle and easy to break, which increases the risk of riding. Regularly check the appearance and material of the brake lever, especially check for signs of aging such as cracks and deformation. If the brake lever is found to be severely aged, it should be replaced with a new one immediately. At the same time, if the brake lever is made of easily aged materials such as rubber or plastic, it should also be replaced regularly. In daily riding, pay attention to protecting the brake lever from direct sunlight and rain erosion. You can use items such as brake lever protective covers or sunshades to cover the brake lever to extend its service life.
It is recommended to regularly inspect and maintain the brake lever, including wear, looseness and aging. This can detect and deal with potential problems in a timely manner to ensure braking effect and safety. If there is a problem with the brake lever, it is recommended to seek help from a professional maintenance personnel. They have the expertise and experience to ensure the quality and safety of repairs. If the brake lever or other related accessories need to be replaced, high-quality accessories that match the original vehicle should also be selected. In daily riding, riders should always maintain a sense of safe riding. Before braking, make sure to hold the brake lever tightly with both hands to avoid brake failure due to loose or damaged brake lever in an emergency. At the same time, pay attention to the road conditions and surrounding environment during the braking process to ensure the braking effect and safety.
