Zusammenfassung:	A brake or clutch lever comprises a lever that pivots about an axis, a lever mounting structure from which the lever extends, and a thumbwheel having a cam thereon. The cam is disposed directly between the lever and the lever mounting structure. The thumbwheel rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the axis of lever pivoting. Also provided is a method of adjusting a height of a brake or clutch lever. A grip portion of a brake or clutch lever is lifted away from a handlebar. A thumbwheel having a cam thereon is rotated about an axis that is perpendicular to a pivot axis of the brake or clutch lever. The brake or clutch lever is lowered toward the handlebar. A method of assembling a brake or clutch lever height adjuster is also provided.
