Dropped bike and bent rear brake peddle

[Mike3012]

Morning all,

 

 

 

Stalled the bike at lights and lost balance, Bike dropped and now broken foot peg and bent brake peddle.

 

Any suggestions on what a cheaper outcome would be rather then buying a new one as can't afford right now, but i need bike to get to work,

 

I've watched videos on YouTube about heating it up and bending it back to a usable position is this advisable 

 

The bike is a trident 660

Footrest is buggered so its buy a new one or try breakers and just replace, the brake pedal dont look to bad and probably made of steel. So remove and if you have a vice all the better you may need a bit of heat but gently bend it back into shape a little at a time. Dont go beating the hell out of it and keep test fitting until you are happy with the shape. Good luck.

Try searching ebay for a replacement 

 

you can usually find some bargains on there

Cant see any brake pedals on Ebay for your bike. I do think it shouldn't be too much of an issue to bend it back into shape though.

 

Here's a foot rest I found

I've straightened brake levers by putting them in a vice, heating with a heat gun whilst applying steady pressure.  

 

It's always worked fine. Just be patient and go slowly.
