blackmyst Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 hi guys my son has exo clarks on his entry-level mtb - while they have been great, the rear ones suddenly have no pressure (and consequently don't work). thinking this may be bleeding, took his bike to my LBS. bleeding was confirmed to not be the issue, the cylinder in his lever (or seal) is buggered. The recommended solution is replace the set... I know these are entry level, but this seems a little extreme (and out of my price range), is it worth trying to locate a seal (and where), or is total replacement the only way here....
Eugene Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Seals are available for most brands, but Clarks are not too common in SA. I'm not sure if there is an agent. Why not Google them and send them an email.
PeterF Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I actually just searched for Clarks on the CRC site and no disc brake seals.
blackmyst Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 thanks guys - I'm looking at these. I'm reaching out to axis as well as the bike is less than a year old, I wouldn't have expected to be doing this yet.
raptor-22 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Master cyclinder will have a generic seal. Take the piston and cylinder to bearing man and they can match up a seal to the groove. take a sample of the failed seal just so that they can see what the origina looked like
blackmyst Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 Hi guys - wanted to update on this - after getting hold of axis(Scott) they repaired at no cost, good customer service does exist
