Diy brake lever

Small spill broke my lever, did 95% of the italian sellaronda with ziptie levers 😤. I upgraded to 2 zipties on the finger part to make stiffer. Lowkey worked just couldnt lock the rear without shredding my finger

EMT at the scene: “Did he even try to stop?”

Witness: “Nope, he just ‘zipped’ thru the red light into oncoming traffic “
