Have a Boardman gravel e-bike commuter which came with Apex groupset. The brakes are OK but never as good as my other bike with Rival. I thought it's just down to Apex being cheaper and the e-bike being a bit heavier. Tried putting Swisstop pads in which are a bit better but still not very good.
Coming home today from work, the front brakes basically turned from not very good to "there must be something wrong".
Peeled the hood back and met with dot fluid everywhere. Traced the leak to be coming from the banjo bolt, took it out off and found one of the o-rings to be pinched. Sram (probably) or Boardman must have pinched it when they put it together.
My google-fu has failed and couldn't find anywhere to buy these o-rings? The closest I found is buying a new hose set which is £40 which don't really want to do. The bike is only a few months old but don't really want to take it to Halfords as it will probably take them ages to sort it out.
Anyone know where to get them from or a suitable alternative I can put in?
