Anyone know where I can find the grub screw for the bleed port on Formula Oro Master Cylinders?
One of my mates managed to round it but is blaming it on me since I just about managed to get the screw earlier to bleed it after putting the hose through the swingarm of the 224 but it is completely rounded now after putting it back in :evil: :evil: :evil: No idea how I will get it out but will work something out hopefully.
Only place I can find it from is Formula themselves but thats 15 quid when you add postage, no way am I paying that much for a fucking grub screw.
As you can imagine I am VERY annoyed about this.
To make it clear, this thread is in no way bashing Formula and I maintain that they are my all time favorite brakes, just don't let anyone else near them who is a car mechanic and torques the shit out of every single bolt, very annoyed at him

I managed to get replacement master cylinder push rod kits from "we love lapierre". They seemed to stock formula bits that are like rocking horse poop to get elsewhere.
May be worth a call.
Oh, and I now have pimp red anodised levers on my K18's...

Go see your lbs, the uk distributor has just changed and is now one of the better ones. They need to speak to silverfish uk, but there isn't much on the website as they're still uploading the new lines they've added.0

I know it's Silverfish now, it's not the push rod kit I need, it's the grub screw that goes in bit where you attach the syringe at the master cylinder for bleeding. Annoyingly, according to the website, none of my LBS's deal with them but I'm sure Icycles does :? I'll check next time I'm there next week.
Nicklouse, any idea what size bolt it is and what bolt shop would have it? I'm useless with bolt sizes, can never get the right one0
