Jubilee rear stop light switch

Forums

Ive recently replaced the rear brake pads. The problem I have now is that there is very little movement of the brake pedal assembly, not enough to pull the brake switch to activate the brake light.The only thing I can think of is to slightly release the rear wing nut to drop the brake pedal (just a bit) and then use a separate spring to keep it pulled back. This should then give me the small amount of movement to bring the brake light on. Does anyone know of a better way of doing it.

I bought a universal brake light from Feked spares. part number: fksw043-a9

Thanks

Hi John.

 I had grief with the rear brakelight switch on my Dommie. Decided that as the front brake always goes on first that the switch is better there. You can get cable with built in switch or what I did was to buy a 6mm diameter brake switch and drilled a hole through the lever pedestal so that it switches on as soon as the lever moves. Worth considering?

Hi George

I did think about a brake switch for the front wheel. As you say the front brake goes on first. Will try and get the back brake switch to work first.

Thanks

.. the switch on the back brake as it's easy to just touch the brake if there's someone tailgating.
