yeah,what happened was,without me noticing on a ride out,the rubber around the metal bracket that holds the end of the can came lose,on the ride home the vibes shook the can so it @snapped@ it where the carbon joins the metal...then a split ran along the length of it along the bottom of the carbon...only noticed it when i started it the next day n thought it sounded funny!need to know if its us or theres a firm out there that can repair it!!!!

Sounds like you need it re-sleeving. I'd get them both off the bike, have them both re-sleeved and re-packed. Good as new then :D

Err, not a clue! Surely someone in the back of MCN can do this kind of thing via mail order?
