Exclamation Front brake lever/removal/installation.

Just went for a ride tonight and within 2 km i was stuck on the side of the street with a locked front wheel. It turn out that after removing the front brake lever I've manage to put it back incorrectely (nothing wrong with the bike itself). Thing is, the master has a small pin sticking out and this need to be aligned with a hole in a small barrel in order to have the front brake working properly. If the barrel happen to rotate you may not see the small hole and you may end up (after installation) applying the front brake without you knowing it. To my defense it was kind of dark but I should have paid attention. Fortunately nothing bad happened.
