Moving foot brake out of the way of big boot

[bridgebiker]

Hi guys

Had my GS about 2 weeks now and still ing, finding this site a great help.

One slight problem, my boot seems to sit on the brake lever causing the brake light to come (although no braking occurs). On my old bike all I had to do was slacken nut on pedal, remove pedal and rotate it downwards. On looking at the GS's pedal I don't see a simple way to achieve this. Is there one?

Thanks in advance

I do the same- some guy on a bike told me he had followed me to let me know my brake light was constantly on- my foot rests on the brake lever ever so slightly and it sets the red light off- like you say.
I just have to make a concious effort to put my foot back away from the pedal- a bit of retraining... thats my only solution- I mentioned it here a while back and the only response i got was- how do you manage that it's mil;es away from your foot! Interested to see if anyone comes up with the prefect solution....

I take it no one has a solution?

No solution, just common problem

I have size 13 boots and my foot seems to rest on the brake lever, I just move my foot back and accept that nothing ever fits me, GS sometimes feels a bit small.
