F3L brake pedal ?
I have a 2018 F3L and previously had an Rss, a STL and a F3s . Never had to "search" for the brake pedal before but for some reason do on this bike .I installed the lowering brake rod from Lamont and that's a huge improvement but still not comfortable finding the brake. Does the larger pad from lamonster make a good difference?
Also after some pretty aggressive riding on Mt Hamilton yesterday I can't wait for next weekend to have my baha Ron away bar installed and laser alignment done

I just took the shortest brake rod and drilled new holes in it to bring the pedal lower, but not too low that it would hit the foot board.
There is a topic on here, I'm not that great at the search option yet.

Yes. No better improvement than the long pad. Plus, you can make minor adjustments to the height with longer bolts and washers.

Actually, the opposite would be true if you lowered your pedal. I have size 12 and I ride with my foot ON the long lowered pedal. If I need to stop, I just push! You would be surprised how far you can push the pedal before it actuates the brake light. Lower and elongate is the perfect solution to big feet. Try visiting the link I provided on how to lower the pedal.

Thanks Rattlebars, but the opposite actually wouldn’t be true if I lowered MY pedal.
Firstly, I don’t believe in riding with my foot on the brake pedal, but that isn’t the defining factor. With size 15s and 38” inleg, the ankle angle created in keeping my foot on the pedal would make it near impossible to maintain that position, regardless of lowering the pedal. I have no choice than to ride with my foot alongside the pedal, and the wide pedal prohibits that. I do have a solution however, which is Lamont’s RIP boards which change the board angle so it is easy to swing over to the brake from a position alongside it.

By far the best floorboard/ brake pedal/ hyway peg combo set is sold by Lamonster. The Black Diamond Grippers. Add the brake rod if you need but its not for me. Plenty of real estate for my size 14s and the brake pedal is not too big like some others that take up too much space. The mid peg hyway pegs are great for perfect placement are nice as well.

So I experienced this a bit when first transitioning to the F3L, but it is all muscle memory the more you ryde the more you realize that you don't even think about where the pedal is you find it instinctively! My problem comes when I get back on the RT.....and my muscles are reaching for the pedal that is right under my foot!
