I came off this weekend and the front Formula ORO K18 brake pump (cylinder) took the brunt of the fall with the lever snapping away from the pump's body (see attached photo).

Looking at the parts diagram, it looks like I would need to order an entirely new pump anyway.

CRC are selling a front ORO K18 (together with the calliper) for £60 here. This is cheaper than purchasing the pump on it's own.

Is a replacement ORO K18 (now discontinued) the best brake to go for, or should I upgrade to something else for similar money?
