My juicy 7's (approx 06 vintage) are in need of a service, but I don't wanna spend upwards of £25 per end on the avid seal kit, all I want are the o rings, not New pistons and bolts etc.

Is there anywhere that sells just the o rings?

Cheers

How about £10 per end? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11972

I doubt you can get the seals as they are square section rather than a round profile.

From memory is there not only one o-ring in the caliper of the Juicy brakes which seals the air path between the two halves of the caliper.

The ones round the piston are square shaped, you will have to be very carefull with removing the pistons if you plan on relpacing these seals.

This is a link to a seal kit on ebay

This is a link to CRC with the piston and internal o-ring

both are about a tenner/brake, have not used the ebay one before but it may be more what you are looking for.
