I don't know what grade of aluminum the pedal is made out of, but it might snap if you start bending on it, so be careful.
It could be worse, I hit a rock or something with mine and it sheared the tip off! Talk about a pain riding with only a front brake
You might try playing with the up/down adjustment and see if that helps, I find that on mine I have to pull my foot up off the peg to tap the brake in the air. I need to lower it a little, I'm just too lazy to change it.:eek:
