I'm going to sell my trek superfly and am refitting the avid elixir 3 that it came with which I had replaced with shimano SLXs. A couple of the conical washers required to fit the Avids have gone missing somewhere between my shed and kitchen. Is this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=21475 the best replacement option or does anywhere sell the washers alone?

    Not exactly expensive, avid v brakes use the same of you have any of them

    You're right, it's not going to break the bank. Just being a skinflint!

    Just get some cheap V-brake pads with washers....Wilkinsons sell a set for £2.99, have used them on Juicy's with no issues!

    As he's selling it, and he'll still have the pads...... save the 80p!

    Thanks for the advice chaps, nipped into the LBS where they had a box full of such items and gave me them for free.
