Altus CT90 Canti Brake Plastic Spring Retainers

[Alembicbassman]

Bought a used MTB with Altus CT90 canti brakes

The spring retainers have cracked. One side has a self tapping screw to adjust the spring tension.

A whole new set of brakes is only £15 but I'd like to use the originals if poss.

Any ideas on where to get a spare part or a suitable fix?

I understand it's a common problem with this set.

frankly not worth repairing even if you could get bits which i seriously doubt.... Replace with new ones.

Yeah, realised that after googling around.

Another Shitmano component.

Bought some generic cantis for £10 (Bike only cost £20). New ones come with new style straddles.
