Does anyone know of a UK source for this kind of thing:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-L-Titanium-Ti-V-Brake-...

I've managed to pretty much destroy one (and nearly destroy the other) when removing it from an old MTB so need to replace.

The only ones I can find are on ebay in Taiwan/HK which isn't an issue in itself, but I'd rather get them within the week.

Definitely try LBS. I'd take the frame in if you can; from recollection there's numerous sizes. But definitely doable; I've sourced them before.

Depending on frame manufacturer, find the biggest dealer and contact them, but titanium ones aren't common. I know when I needed a Cannondale cable guide for an old Caad2 road frame, St John Street Cycles were spot on.

Make sure you know what thread you want on the part that screws into the frame.

Another vote for SJS Cycles, the spares they stock is awesome

Cheers for the replies.

Should have mentioned that I wasn't specifically after Ti, but they are the only ones that seem to show up on ebay.
