    Hi all,

    Does anybody on this fine site of ours have or use an Active Quick Action Throttle?

    I have just bought a track bike with one fitted and I could use some advice

    I have a long bolt coming out of the housing (between the cables) with a nut on it. Is this for some sort of adjustment?
    Problem is, the bolt is so long that on hard braking my brake lever is failing against it!
    I've seen pictures on the net of the QAT on other bikes without the bolt in the housing (the thread is still there)
    I hope this makes sense

    Is it for the spring to keep it taught until fitted? Thats my guess.
