Hi,
I've just got a new chair that doesn't come with any brakes being a sports model. The chair seems to be designed so it can take them when compared with my old chair. I need to know if I can buy brakes anywhere or if anyone has any spares I can haggle for. I can't raid the ones off my old chair as I am still using it for uni.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Fran

I was going to suggest Sportaid as well. They're great and have really good customer service.
