I have recently bought a bike from ebay and the guy i bought it off included all of his bike spares and things
i was quite surprised to find a complete set of Formula B4 XC Gold hydraulic disc brakes in the package.
however the brake levers are completely snapped off, and have sheared a part of the body off. and by the looks of it i need a completely new lever becasue he has done a proper job breaking them!! :?
does anyone know where i can get formula levers pretty cheap?
or - is it possible to fit levers from another manufacturer eg 'Hope'.
thanks

contact any Formula dealer and they will be able to get some. As far as i am aware there are no after market assys or levers that work with those brakes."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

any formula dealer, mine were about 50 quid. and for the same brake as yours.I said hit the brakes not the tree!!

Cheers for your help guys!
was that £50 per lever or for the pair?0 -
per lever. including the whole thing, blade, pistons. i also had it all reconnected up so it may be less than that for just the lever.I said hit the brakes not the tree!!

my lbs told me the other day there was no uk distribute for formula making getting spare extreamly difficult. thats why i opted out of buying the k18's. is this true or have i been told little white lies to talk me into buying from them?0
