Riding along today hit a stump, over the bars came down on some logs. Nothing too heavy but the top of the reservoir body of my brakes, where the clamp bolt threads through snapped. Meaning although the brake still works perfectly I can't clamp the thing to the bars.

Is this something that could be covered under warranty? They're less than 6 months old and I can't find any spares anywhere. Or does anyone have any other suggestions (I can hear people telling me to dump the Avids but the rear is fine and if possible I'd like to fix what I have.

Cheers all.

Fisher Outdoor are the importers, but they don't list just the lever body, only complete lever assemblies.Your cheapest option(unless a call to Fishers brings a goodwill gesture), is probably a secondhand lever from the classifieds.

Thanks for taking the time to look into that coatesy, I'll give them a call tomorrow, hopefully they'll be able to help out, it can't be more than 5grams of material that is missing.
