I bought a pair of Tektro RL520 brake levers to replace the trashed levers on my bike. The bike has some sidepull caliper brakes. Unfortunately, the RL520s are designed for linear pull brakes. I'm guessing that this is going to work, but I'll be hitting the rim sooner in the lever travel and losing some braking finesse. 1. Is this correct? 2. Is this a big deal? Am I better off trying to exchange these?

Yeah I thought better of it and went back to the store to exchange them. I probably would have ended up hitting the eject button and going over the bars the first time I needed to brake hard.

The bike shop really should have been able to handle that. I'd probably try turning it with vice grips or pliers. If you have a file or dremel you can flatten the outside of the bolt and try to grip it that way. If that doesn't work I'd go for the screw extractors or dremel the bolt shaft like others have says.

Why didn't I buy a bead jack ten years ago? I cannot recommend this thing enough
