Templar X 250 - anyone replace the rear brake pedal?

vividpixel · Yesterday, 01:10 PM

My rear brake pedal got bent enough that it's not easily & fully unbendable, so I'm looking for a replacement. Has anyone found anything aftermarket? I don't think Xpro ever restocks their parts: https://xprousa.com/collections/db-k...49456592355488

There was one on Am_zon which had the right shape, but dimensions were a little too small: "JFG RACING Rear Brake Foot Pedal Lever for 125-530 SX SXS XC SX-F XC-W XC-F EXC-F XCF-W SXS-F EXC XCR-W Orange"

Smaller is generally better, tucks in, LESS likely to get caught on something and get bent.

And those spikes will grab your riding boot/shoe. As long as the business end fits (mount, caliper piston tab) I'd go for it.

But I'd get it from Ali Express. What can I say? I am cheap. If the brake works, you can wait for it

I think there may have been a misunderstanding as the replacement with a spiked orange tip was too small. I'm looking for one that fits, stock or otherwise, though I'd definitely like an upgrade from stock.

I took another look at the pedal and it isn't terribly bent after my last unbending effort, but does not sit flat and I don't think I can twist it any farther.

The description is for a KTM rear brake lever. Try Honda ~06-08 CRF 230 or CRF 250. There are JFG rear brake levers for that year range. Not sure if the CRF250R would be the right fit (~$40). But probably a Honda CRF part will fit.

Are you saying it was too small to fit on the mounting post, the connection to the piston was too short? Or did the lever not extend far enough forward?

This low end replacement has dimensions
Brake Lever-Foot

Ive bent mine a few times keep bending it back this past sat. It bent under the crank and was partially engaged i realized when i started smelling brakes burning i would definently be interested in a comfirmed upgrade pedal for the templar x i had thought about pullin it off welding some flat stock to beef it up a bit that would fix the problem if you have access to a welder
