Hi

After a crash the brake lever rod (also doubles as reach adjuster) on my Shimano BLM525 lever was ripped out of its housing meaning that I cannot work my rear brake :(

Is there any way to sort this? If not does anyone know which replacement lever would be compatible with this circa 2003 brake system?

Thanks

    are you looking for a full lever assy? if so as above. or are you (as you say) looking for a lever?

    Yeah think I will get 'self a new unit, is it definitely the case that any shimano lever will fit my old calipers? If so cool
