I have a cracked piston and need a replacment before next Wednesday. I am durban based any ideas as to who could assist. Its stripped ready to be replaced but not sure who might have the parts locally.

 

Many thanks

Formula is distributed in South Africa by GetStoked.

Here is a map of their dealers: https://getstoked.store/our-dealers/

I'd guess they'd be the best place to start.

Although that brake set is a little older and they only took over the brand in the last few years, so you might have to do some hunting if they don't stock older model spares.

Thanks Nick...

 

Warren, while Nick is correct in saying we started with the brand long after The One had been discontinued, we may have some spares available which we will confirm first thing tomorrow.

 

Who is your preferred local bike shop with whom we can arrange sending you the correct spares?

 

Cheers

Don't have a local bike shop I do all my own servicing etc since I have been back in country for the past 5 years.

 

I have been advised to try cycle logic in hillcrest/gillets unless you would prefer I use another.

 

Appreciate the help and whilst at it if you have the rubber seals that would be great too as I'm in there so might as well replace them.

Morning Warren,

 

Sadly the team have come up empty handed after a detailed look at our inventory this morning.

As Nick mentioned these brakes came out in 2011 and a cursory look on all the major e-commerce sites also yielded no results when I looked this weekend.

 

Normally in this situation we would offer you a better price on a new set of replacement brakes as a curtesy for your years of supporting the brand, however while life might seem like it's back to normal in our daily lives, COVID is still causing major issues in supply chains.

 

Our next shipment with both Cura and Cura 4 brakes (the latter being my recommendation) are due to land end of Otober.

 

If you would like, I can make a note to get back to you once they have landed?

 

Cheers
