    I vote for for this one!

    Specifically, I want to know two things:

    1. How to loosen the levers so that I can move them along the handlebars to find the best position for me.

    2. My left lever itself rattles when I cross over railroad tracks, but my right one doesn’t. Is there an adjustment I can make in the lever, or is any type of spring action strictly coming from the brake assembly?

    I could *really* use a tutorial about how to loosen my road bike’s FlightDeck brake/shift levers and slide them up the drops just a bit. I got this bike as a gift and I’m new to FlightDeck. (My previous bike was a 1989 Specialized Sirrus). I found an exploded diagram of the flightdeck after searching Google, but I couldn’t work out how to loosen/tighten the levers to the bars.
