I’ve not seen these brakes before let alone a Tektro version of it, I’m a little doubtful it’s a rebranded Tektro.
Only Tektro one that look similar is the Auriga.

Yeah I just couldn't remember what they were based on.
I think its possible they were based on Avid Juicy. Being as they're DOT. Dunno if Tektro ever did any DOT brakes. That being said they aren't exactly the same.
Unfortunately we don't have any spares to scavenge from.
Plus you can rotate the master cylinder similar to how the Tektros you posted do.
I doubt gusset would've designed their own brakes.
I'll probably just give up on them and keep the calipers and hoses as spares.

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.
