Shimano brake caliper pistons

[nox1111]

I'm looking for a set of pistons for my Zee brake calipers. I suspect one of the large pistons are cracked. Any idea of where to find them locally?

As far as I know Shimano do not supply anything but the complete caliper.  There are Aliexpress options.

@drooany luck on your side? Maybe even from a busted caliper? or @Nils@WScycleworks

Amazon, eBay or Aliexpress have ceramic, metal and resin options. Otherwise scavenging a caliper is your only option

Don't get me started on that lot! Fact is you can't even get from Shimano Japan. Even SRAM supplies spare piston kits for their brakes. Then again you can rebuild a Shimano clutch when a SRAM derailleur would only be good for the bin 😖

is their monopoly - so they make the rules
