I'm looking for a set of M5 Ergonomic Brake System (EBS) brake levers for my Baron. Although the M5 website suggest they're still available, Bram Moens informed me they've been out of production since 2012.

The clamp on the EBS brake levers on my M5 Low Racer broke this morning, and I'm urgently looking for a replacement (either 7/8" or 1") so I can ride again. Ideas for alternative solutions welcome too. Don't tell anyone I rode without brakes this morning. I was the only one on the track, but some corners were a bit sketchy, even at low speed...


Perhaps this is why they went out of production?

EBS no longer needed, I've now fitted a set of Tektro RX 5.0 TT brake levers and they work a treat (in all honesty, they're miles better than the EBS levers).
