Got a particularly neglected and roughed up scooter a little while ago (see itistheride.boards.net/thread/7580/saved-scapheap-prince-zombies) which i've nursed back to health, but the front brake has the handle broken off and sightglass is dryrotted to nonexistence. Does anyone have experience enough to offer advice whether it's best to just replace the upper portion of the brake, or if it's not worth the savings vs just replacing the front brake caliper-line-handle and all? |

Inspect the caliper, if it's fine just replace the hose, for safe measure, and the brake lever. You could try to restore the plastic glass for close to nothing, if it doesn't work you don't lose anything but time. |
