Bought new base bar/extensions combo and removed old shifters and brake levers from old bars. Now in trying to install the brake levers, I find that I can't "fit" the brake levers freely into the base bar. I saw a video in which somebody used an allen key to expan/contract the mechanism so that it stays in place. These are a set of Dura Ace TT79 brake levers.
I removed the screw that shows in the bottom picture, but that didn't seem to do anything. I inserted an allen key through the silver part to see if I could find the right size to "catch", but didn't find the right fit (if that's the way to go). Then that got me thinking I could loosen it, but I wouldn't be able to tighten it (expand).
Anyways, I realize how basic this question is. You're probably wondering how I removed them from the old bars? Twisty motion got them to come out without much force.
thanks for the help!
