Quite disturbing to be hurtling down a descent at Penmachno and feel the lever pull straight back to the bars!! Is the piece that fell out replaceable as I can't find spares on the usual websites, or is it back to Avid for a re-build? The zip tie gave some feel back but the pin and grub screw are gone...

Take it as a sign to ditch the Juicies!

I think you'll need a pushrod kit for that one part (Not cheap). I lost mine from a set of juicy 7's. You can get away with a small bolt though.
