Eugene Brown Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Anyone have any luck in tracking down a supplier for XT/XTR seals, loose or in a kit? A mate of mine's son has a leaking XTR lever, and they are really not happy with buying a new lever on a 1 year old bike!
Meezo Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 AFAIK, there are no seals/lever kit assembly? what seals are leaking?
Skinnyone Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 There has never been service kits available for any Shimano brake system, if it is a year old and he is the original owner/purchaser of the bike then perhaps try and pursue a warranty?...
Eugene Brown Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 He bought the bike second hand, and is now up the creek! I've told him CRC is his new best friend now.....
Meezo Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 he doesn't have to replace with XTR lever.. still keen to know where the leak is
Skinnyone Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Ah yes unfortunately that will be the case...But most other Shimano levers will work so he doesn't have to cough for XTR, he could get away with SLX if his budget will only allow that...
Eugene Brown Posted August 2, 2016 Author Posted August 2, 2016 I don't know where it's leaking, and he's up in Louis Trichardt. Thanks for the help.
Hennie VR Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Had the same problem. Look for a 2nd hand one and strip it. Alternatively (Warning: Not a guarantee it will work) http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/brake-time/889312d1398763606-2011-xtr-m985-brakes-leaking-img_2831.jpg
Grebel Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Some hydraulics companies can have seals made up if you have a sample. If you can get it stripped, why not take it to them and see if they can help?
