Rushdee Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Anyone ever lose one of these on a trail? Mine popped off on a trail the other day, followed by the entire lever. Had I not heard the sound of an aluminium part (lever) bouncing on rocks behind me, I wouldn't have been the wiser. Found the lever. Couldn't find the little red retention cap and integrated spring. Now the lever can't be secured and it lives in my backpack instead of on the axle, meaning that there's a greater chance of the lever being misplaced and hence no easy way to remove the wheel. Cant seem to find the part on Google. Could use a tiny screw and MacGyver something but I'd prefer to get the part because of the spring action. Are there any local DT Swiss suppliers perhaps..
TomR Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I had a similar problem at the end of last year. I couldn't find a replacement locally (supplier had to order one and it would take weeks to arrive according to them). I went the online route and bought one from Bike24.com based in Germany. The catch is that they don't offer a UPS or DHL option and delivery comes via the South African Post Office.
