My wife returned from a ride complaining that her front brake caliper was rubbing on the rim. When I had a look, it turns out that the spring that pushes the brake caliper arms back apart when the brake lever is released had broken just where it exits from where it is clamped at the brake bolt. Anyone know where I can obtain a replacement spring - I couldn't find anything available through Googling. The caliper is a SRAM Rival that's about two years old.

    that shouldn't really fail, what's the warranty? it'll be at least two years, contact the dealer

    sram spares catalogue doesn't show springs, which suggests it's not a standard orderable spare

    you can try lbs spares box, maybe they've an old one that can be robbed for parts
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
