Hey,

Have just about killed the spring on my front brake on my commute bike so probably easiest and best to replace the rusty f*cker.

So looking for a new/nearly new silver front brake please. 10-15 quid?

I've got a Weinmann Symmetric sidepull brake, very long drop, spring is perfect. Bought it second hand but never fitted it.

Looks like this (photo from Velobase, comes with pads)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
