    Did you fit these yourself or did the bike shop fit them, If they are failing in such a short time it is either a fitting problem or a design/material fault. Did you go back to the retailer and ask for replacements? They should be covered for a least 12 months under the sale of goods act.

    My rear one broke in exactly the same place after about 18 months. They seem hard to get hold of at the moment - wonder if they're being redesigned or just withdrawn perhaps

    I've just used a couple of cable tied to secure them
