The UCI has begun its clamp down on extreme brake lever positions, with commissaires checking bikes before stage one of the Women's Tour Down Under.
Cycling Weekly witnessed some of the first checks on brake lever angles, which appeared to be met with some bemusement from members of staff. The 3D printed tool used allows up to 10 degrees of inward rotation for the brake levers, and also checks how flared the drops of the handlebar are. According to Escape Collective, the UCI is in talks with bike manufacturers and the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI) to agree on the final angle range.
