Might still just rub the piston down but wanted to know availability of kit to sort it properly.

Any info welcome, thanks!  Can only find it on Ebay via the USA etc....

Supposed to be on Bikeinn but cant see it on there??

I'd just wish mine could be bled properly not to have the lever to bar situation every time I go for the brakes.

Not a confidence inspiring brake and they feel much of a muchness to far cheaper brakes of yesteryear.

Think I'm gonna bite the bullet soon enough and sell to upgrade to DOPE HOPES.

;D

Bikeinn - part no.5878574

£15.95

They bleed up perfectly as long as you remember to do it in the right order AND do the negative pressure part at the end.

If you don’t the you’ll never get a good bleed.

Rock solid lever and the best brakes on anything I have here.

^^^ Hmm, genuine part? Spidey senses make me wary of ebay from Taiwan (yeah, most bike stuff is made there, but who knows where this actually came from. The rejects bin?).

I bought the kit from BIkeinn and the ebay one. Both look/feel exactly the same. Cant tell the difference between them. I imagine there is a huge demand for them hence why they are selling them individually. Time will tell though...
