I need new bladders and reservoir caps for my brakes.
Only place I can find them for sale is here:
https://www.bike-components.de/en/SRAM/Spare-Parts-for-Code-RSC-A1-Brake-Levers-2018-p65043/5-universal-o364600001/
Part number 11.5018.022.002
€15 postage is a bit steep. But this seems to the only place I can order them from.
Anyone know any other avenues?
Surprising that so few uk sites stock the spares.
Just checked with the importers (Zyro Fisher), only available to dealers on a "buy to order" basis, and at an rrp of £19. Factor in the waiting involved (including push back times), and it may be more viable to order from Germany.
Thanks very much for that. I'd tried looking around the fisher website with the part number but it didnt come up!
I think you're right. Germany it is!
What a bloody nightmare. Ordered from bike-components.de
It was showing as in stock.
Just been told it wouldnt be delivered until the 8th of November.
Is that the likely time scale if ordered from SRAM via a bike shop in the UK?!
Don't know why but SRAM parts just aren't available in the UK aside from complete service kits or otherwise going through dealers. German stores seem to offer the actual parts on their parts list, but no guarantee they can get them.
I’ve just had this for a Guide lever blade. Very annoying - I ended up buying a whole new brake. Perhaps that’s their game.
Try Amazon and eBay.
Yeah amazon but use google to search it. Worked for me for a bearing kit and service kit, but searching amazon itself proved fruitless.
SJS Cycles seem to have RSC blades and bladders in stock.
The ones sjs have are not what I'm looking for. Sjs have the bladder for guide rsc brakes which are different from Code rsc sadly.
But appreciate you taking the time to have a nosey for me!

As coatsey says they are buy to order from ZyroFisher (UK Distributor), shows 8-12 weeks on the B2B, but that is not a guarantee.
I would have thought its unlikely you will find somebody with them in stock.
Thanks. I managed to find one on another German website. Its already been dispatched, just need to try find another.
I'll certainly take this into account the next time I'm buying a set of brakes.
Pretty poor not to be backed up with easy access to spare parts.
