What a pile of crap, going to order some separate brackets now. I get the impression they are quite fragile. I have a spare right hand side if you need it. |

Thanks for the offer, but just ordered a Hope one from Wiggle that will hopefully be stronger. Chain Reaction sold out of the Hope SRAM right side ones, no coincidence I bet. |

Just to update popped over to pedalworx as recommended. Nicks a top bloke and got everything working 100%. Turns out I had a fubared rear caliper and both the seals in the levers had seen better days. |

Fitted the Hope matchmaker brackets either side now, the left hand Avid bracket was on the verge of sheering off as well (alloy splitting) , it would have gone on the next ride. Hope brackets are way chunkier, about twice as thick. |
