Brake Caliper Pin Boots

Drak · 05-13-2020, 07:05 PM

I have a magician. On my front brakes one of the boots has completely broken. After disassembling there was 0 grease and some corrosion on that pin. Does anyone have any idea where I could find this part?

Just the boots. I cleaned the pins.

E bay or most likely tao bao but dunno about just the rubber sleeve. Search Magician or Yellow River is how the Chinese call it. Shipping nightmare right now. You might also try some brake sellers to try and match it up. Maybe somebody else knows something about brake supply where it could be located.

I might have them but shipping!!!
I suggest clean pin reuse it, look at local bike shops for rubber as these are somewhat generic and the China rubber is total junk......
