[Closed] SRAM GUIDE RS spares?

Hi, after a very wet and muddy 70 miles yesterday my rear Guide RS has finally given up and now pulls back to the bars.
It has been slow to release for some time now and looking on line it looks as though the older ones have had the inners redesigned to help the returning lever.
If I am going to re-bleed them anyway I may as well overhaul them, and here is my problem, where can I buy spare parts?
It won't be worth sending them to a bike shop for repair, but no-one seems to stock spares.
The brakes are really good and must be worth saving?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Not cheap but a lifetimes worth of spares here, and no doubt you could sell bits on when needed

I have seen that, but I can't imagine I would ever need that many spares!

I can buy a new brakes for about £85 an end!

But thanks.

I had that issue and the brake was replaced as the lever had a fault in it...

Hi Dick.

What did you do to get them to replace it? did you send it somewhere?

Thanks

Pete
