Hello all, I'm struggling to bleed a set of Hayes Stroker and the pistons on both sides are wet when protruding. The seals have gone right? Next question: anyone know where I can buy new ones without the pistons?

Check hayes website. I got a set of dyno sport as standard on my ex 5 and the seals on the front failed after about 10 rides. The lbs sent them away I got them back just over a week and half late no fuss. But whilst I was waiting I looked on the website to see that they got a lifetime leakproof warranty.

Good suggestion but unfortunately i'm not the original owner. I'll get in touch with them none the less and see if they can point me in the right direction.

Thanks Granny, I saw the same too, wondered if they only sell as a set to eliminate any risk of leak being caused by piston? I can't complain if it is going to cost me 12 quid to sort though.
