Slanty 5-stars: What the heck??

Pablo Puchasso /

So I after having these things sitting around for a while, I decided to paint them. I began prepping them, and much to my dismay, I discovered that the lever for the brake on the front hub is unlike one I've ever see before. (see attachment). The back one is normal but the front one, as you can see, is just a circular hole. Should I use a normal front brake cable and just run it through the hole, letting the big end catch/pull when I need to brake and hang/dangle the rest of the time? Is there another cable I should be using?

Help? I know this should probably be in repair... sorry.

Grab a tomos style pinch bolt and call it a day.

I have one of those levers from a puch that you can just have if it fits, if you want to go that way.

thank you kindly though for the diagram :)

Re: Slanty 5-stars: What the heck??

They are often referred to as mozzi wheels btw. They come stock on recent model Peugeot mopeds. Use a pinch bolt as intended.

Cool. Yeah I see that on the wheel now that I am painting them.
