Got an issue with these brakes.
Brakes are Gusset Chute. Gusset is the in house brand of a UK distributor (ISON). Pretty sure they're a copy of some older Tektros. Not sure which model though.
The issue I have is the rod of the piston in the lever isn't pushing when I pull the lever. Can't figure out which bit I may be missing or what has failed.
If I push the piston rod (independently of the lever) the brakes work fine.
Same issue on both brakes.
I think the bit that sits on the rod should be internally threaded but the threading has stripped. But I can't seem to find spares.
Anyone know what to do? Maybe which model Tektro they're based on.
Thanks.
