Was just sorting and checking my brakes on the Bionicon, undid what i assumed was the span adjuster screw, however, i think it's actually the bleed screw... Small Torx head, when i re-tightened, the bloody bit snapped inside the head.
I don't think getting the screw out will be too difficult, but i need a replacement... any ideas ?
Arse.... the answer is... £8 from your LBS for bleed screw kit.
Formula have a long history of this, anyone remember B1's?
A well directed fart could break them.
Try your local fastening or bearing suppliers, you might not get a identical copy but it might not be made of cheese and bag of them will only be a pound or so.
thanks for the info...
Chuffin formula brakes.....Utter garbage from what i can gather.... My mate has had 2 sets, the first he thought was just a bad set.....NO, the second has been crap as well.....
Ive had my Hopes 3 years and rode the same stuff twice a week(mostly really stupid steep/rocky) and theyve been flawless!
Nuff said....... 😉
Not sure how you could mistake the bleed adjuster on a Oro for a span adjuster tbh? Drop me a pic of the part you've damaged- I've just recently scrapped a set of K24s for spares, might well have what you need. (andrew@blackjack.f9.co.uk)
Also- Stoney, Speshpaul, did you miss the part where it was the tool that broke not the brake? 😕
The answer is mate,
I've not played with them until yesterday. So i had no clue what bit was what. I've still not actually found the span adjuster LOL.
Will drop you a pic in a little while.
Ta.

Silver ****er in the middle.
That's the bleed port, the reach adjuster is in a tiny hole in the front of the lever blade itself!.
Yeah i know that now. 🙂
However, i don't recall seeing the one inside the lever.. which is funny becuase i DO have one there for my K18's....that i've used for adjusting the lever out on them... i want to adjust it in slightly on the K24's.
Have some bits from crash damage k18s. You can have for price of postage. Let me know... 🙂
If it had been a caliper bolt you could of had one of my spares.
