I am installing Turning Brakes and I do not have enough room for the handle. Has anyone ever shortened the handle. If so, did you lose any braking? was he handle hard to push down or pull up?

I am using a single handle brake and I have disc brakes on the back.

Thanks
Dan

I am running dual handle and have cut them down 4 inches to match shifter height to make them easier to grab in a O-SHIT situation. I haven't noticed a difference enough to not do it again but I'm currently runnin drums. Hope it helps.
