Anyone know where I can get a replacement reservoir cap for some LX brakes? Checked on Chain Reaction, but couldn't find them.

Are we talking the BR-M585 ones (old style with the resevoir parallel to the bars)? I got mine from [url= http://www.petracycles.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&inc_subcat=1&categories_id=&keywords=m585 ]Petra Cycles[/url].

Hi Iain - it's these ones, but I actually need to replace both sides due to a careless trailside puncture fix ๐Ÿ˜ณ

sj - think I can sort you out. I have 3 of those, 1 exactly as the pic, which is a little scratched, the other 2 are new. the new ones have different white writing though - 1 says shimano, 1 says shimano deore. any use to you ? - if so mail me your address and I'll stick them in an envelope in the post tomorrow

That'd be brilliant. Not bothered about the writing being different. I've just dropped you an email.
