Hello from AZ

I thought only Gusset brake levers have a crotch screw
It worked on a giant trike with hydros this week. It pushed the lever out for more pull.


I have Tektro Hydraulic brakes on both my ebikes, and they have crotch screws.

My levers do appear to have a crotch that is indeed being screwed?

Maybe they'll give birth to shorter, two finger lever babies 👶 🤔 😏 😉 😳 🤷

Not sure if we are talking the same thing but TRP (Tektro Racing Products) brake levers have not just an adjustment screw but a screw that you can operate with your fingers even on a ride.

Initially, you set the brake lever position so it matches your fingers' length. As the brake pads wear, you feel the lever becoming mushy. Several turns of the screw with your fingers, the lever returns to the preferred position and becomes firm again. I could not find such a screw on other brand brake levers but well my experience is limited in this field.
 
Jokes are fragile things, it just takes one earnest attention for them to turn into dust.
It looks your joke fell flat like a Russian fighter plane in a Zelensky meme :) "I wanted to tell you guys a joke about a Russian fighter plane but it fell flat".

You don't need to be "wittous" all the time :)
Did I say that before? When I was a kid, my Mum (who was a scientist) said: "Acids can be strong as the sulphuric acid or weak like the sulphurous one. Some people are just witty. I hate the wittous ones".

Any reason not to be serious or practical? :)

Mine don't have an adjustment screw, so I made one.

My lever was getting a little flat, so I Pumped It Up,..

Im more concernrd that the word gusset is being removed from its classic reference.
Theyve made an entire brand without anyone but me smirking.

What next..fanny packs?
