I have a cheep one off ebay and it did not work at all. As it would let the pressure in the line but would not let it out by the looks of it!!

You sure you didn't get a line lock by accident? Looked a bit like a line lock tbh

No ben in the end I locked so the rears were not working lol.


So your rears don't lock up at all dan? as mine has burnt a set of rear pads away by the looks of it.

I haven't messed with it too much, just guessed where would be ok. The rears don't lock up very easily at all. A bit more fettling would make it even better, just wishing i had mounted in the inside now!

Not a Mini, but I have the older version of that one. No issues.

However, it is annoying that it is just a rotary dial with no clicks, or any way to identify a set position.

For that reason alone I'd be inclined to go fora lever style where there is a positive indicator of position. I think I found cheapish ones on Peter Lloyd's site.
Cant comment on quality of it though.

I had a lever one and found I couldn't get enough adjustment out of it, got a knob style one which I found had more adjustment

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

You need to remember that the adjustable bias valve doesnt limit the pressure to the rear brakes, it adjusts the point at which the bias goes from 1-1 front-rear split to 3-1 front-rear split. As you screw the adjuster in it brings this point sooner, if you screw it out it makes this point later, so adjusting it wont stop the rears from locking

I seriously doubt it!
