Broken Hayes 9 Lever

Hi all,

Had my bike propped up against a tree whilst I was fiddling around with it, a turn away and a gust of wind blew it over and unfortunately my brake lever took the brunt of the fall and now looks like this...



Taking a closer look, it looks like it's missing a bit that holds the "ball" on the lever into the "socket" inside the unit.



Do I need to replace the entire brake unit? Or can I just replace the lever?

My mates popped out after he broke his collar bone doing a jump.
We just popped it back in (use force)
Easy :)

Unless its missing something :(

But his just popped back in and we wound in the lever reach

There is a socket that it pops into. That may need replacing depending if anything is missing.
I don't know a lot about it but a friend of mine's came out and there is a clip that keeps it in i think? It needed a new one of those.

the part your missing is a small circlip (think thats how its spelt) that sits behind the ball part and stops it from popping out all the time, i've attached a dodgy paint edit to show you what I mean

I had the same problem on my old bike.
I couldn't find anything on farkin, about it but when i googled i found this page;

I found that very useful. Also if you have any rides planned, and can't get it fixed in time,try putting a zip tie from the handlebar to the leaver to stop it going out of place. Get it fixed ASAP though. good luck :D

rubber bands and zip ties work but if you cant ind an actual hayes 9 circlip try a motorbike store or something like that, circlips are used all the time you should be able to find one that fits even if it isn't a hayes brand

Thanks for the replies fellas, looks like it might be an easy fix - guess a trip down to the lbs will tell.

I was actually considering using a rubber band to hold it in place cos this happened just as I was going to load the bike onto the car but figured I better not risk it failing on me at the wrong moment.
