does this mean the new pedal design is not the ticket....

i make brake snake outta old clutch cable, 2 ferrules, and a piece of vent hose over it. definitely make sure you have slack enough to fully depress brake.

I've had a brake snake snag something and that bent the pedal once! I don't bother anymore, but they do help sometime. If the pedals bend/break occasionally I fix then with the HTS2000 rods and a MAPP torch.

If you've ever had sapling get stuck between your brake pedal and frame, you'll always run a brake snake. It's really hard to back up when your rear brake is stuck full-on.

I snapped off several brake levers due to fresh trail.. sapling jamming in so bad even after snapping off most of the brake.. One on my 03 250 and two on my 97 250.. The snake would help..

That little hole in the brake pedal tip looks like the perfect place to attach a snake
