    Hi Every1.

    Went out nice and early this morning to beat the traffic and rubbish weather. Making the most of the clear roads I went to use my back brake slightly just to help me get down to a reasonable speed for the round about and there was nothing!! I managed to slow and get round the round about had a little look and the leaver was there and looked ok. But wen I stopped and looked properly my rear set has snapped! The adjuster bit on my off side Giles vcr has snapped the bit with the numbers on u can move in and out.
    So am wondering if any1 knows of anywhere or the best place to get spares to mend the rear set. DSC_0094.JPG

    Yer I will be sending the same picture to gilles to see what they say. I got them off the forum or eBay I think though so can't have too much of a moan at them.

    I have ordered the right slider I need to sort the rear set, so as the sun was out yesterday I thought it will be OK and hold I'll go for a ride. But then..... IMG-20150906-WA0000.jpeg
    Luckily I was only a couple miles from home so managed to dangle my leg and make it back

    Standard place for them to break I'm afraid, although I have a legitimate reason for breaking mine :eek:
    About £80 new I seem to remember.

    Had... I had to sell them in the end to fun the bike repair :(
    They were the standard Gilles ones. I think you spec the colour like you do with the gold bits.
