PM ebay seller
unless you managed to break it!
Cheers Ed

Yeah I did that also. I'll update this thread with the outcome…and no I didn't break it, was like it straight out of the box.

Turns out I received a response this morning!

Hi Joey,


Really very sorry to hear that, we can provide a replacement lever.


I will put it in the post today, 1st class Royal Mail.

what a great seller, think ill start sticking up a few more reviews, this thread has already became featured, just got some michelin lithion 2's in the post today, some shimano rs11's lastweek and plenty of other things, i rather enjoy it!

Got the Aldi one as well, offer during summer last year. Very useful indeed when fettling my son's Uni bike during September/October Indian Summer.

Looks good. I have one almost identical, except the clamps are tightened with a screw twist rather than QR. This looks way better, as I find the screw one really hard sometimes to tighten and loosen. Might chuck mine out and replace it with this one, at that price.

okay maybe he doesn't officially sell them but considering @JoeyB got a replacvment PM him saying you bought one of the older models with a screw type and now fancy uppgrading to the Q/R is there any chance you could buy the Q/R only off him

either that or spend £35 on a completely new one with Q/R and give me your old one ;D i pay postage and all!
Cheers Ed

Mine arrived promptly, but unfortunately is unusable as the top plastic clamp is fractured adjacent to the wingnut. I've contacted the seller to request a replacement bit, I'll report back with the outcome.

 

[JoeyB]

Mine does have a screw type fastener on the horizontal clamp...? QR on two other places I think?

The outcome will be good, I'm certain he will send a replacement part in 1st class post as soon as he reads your message.

I have the Aldi one, am I missing something my carbon road bike (spesh tarmac 2010) has a flatish top tube which doesn't seem to fit in the grippers and I don't want to tighten too much and damage the frame.
