How close are you from an LBS? I've found every one carries common Shimano parts.

I'm two hours away.

I needed to get a new RD cage and located the part #s on Shimano's website (look under Tech Docs). I then found a couple of sellers on eBay. Another option is simply calling a shop and having them order and ship it to you.

Looking at the EV of the 6810 brake, I don't see that part listed as a separate item. I don't actually see the spring setup as shown in the image you included. Hmmm?

I would just buy a new brake. Probably only costs around $50.

Brake is brand new I put it on last week and the tab broke on the first ride. I will make the part if I need to, but trying to save myself the hassle or a 2 hour drive to the LBS (which my wife would like as she gets to go to the shopping mall).

The tab (or even the spring) doesn´t show on the parts diagram. I emailed fairwheel bike yesterday, they are a shimano service center, waiting on a reponse, maybe I´ll get lucky.

The image is from the dealers manual, but you are right they don't list the spring assembly on their parts list, I guess this is not something shimano thinks will need replacing.

Order a new brake online and you will have it in two days. Way less hassle.

You are probably right. I just hate having to buy something new to replace something new. If I don't hear back from fairwheel today I'll just have to bite the bullet.

That's what I would do as well.

That's what a warranty is for, so you can return it. There are plenty of online retailers that offer full Shimano warranties on the parts they sell.

If you want Shimano parts with warranty, they cost about twice as much.
