Bike Repair Question

I need to adjust my GRX600 brake levers. The levers hit the handlebars when I pull on the all the way.

The Dealer's Manual says the free stroke on this model cannot be adjusted, and the screw the exists on newer versions doesn't exist on the 600 levers.

Is the only way to adjust the free stroke to refill and re-bleed the brakes?

@MrPDaniel @intrepidhero @MightyRedPanda HA! I've never seen one of those broken like that! You just need the right one. This is either a Shimano Tourney RD-TX800 8-speed (direct mount) derailler, about $15, or Shimano Tourney RD-A070 7-speed (direct mountain derailleur). You'll need to look at home many gears on the shifters and/or the rear cogs. It's Shimano because it's marked Dual SIS. Could also be six speed, I guess. #BikeRepair #BikeTooter

(Update: decided to go for it, blue brake cables and blue shifter cables, hopefully similar blue LOL... ordered off eBay from random small businesses).

Today's hard #BikeRepair #BikeRestoration decisions:

1. Switch out the 1974 shifter and brake cable housings? (from 1974, white, yellowing)

2. If so, go for blue (complementary to yellow and orange), or back to white?

(currently leaning towards blue, since I just custom painted this bike, might as well go 100% on the non-standard colors LOL)
