If you find anyting on this, I would love to know. I have already had that thing lock up on me twice during wet conditions. Even if it didnt fit under the cover, I would still go with a tririg break, as long as it fits.

I've not tried the tririg but keeping the brakes opening well can be a challenge. To get my front brake opening again recently I had to completely disassemble clean and grease as per instructions (do NOT use wd40! Read cleaning instructions!) And I recabled it. This worked. For the rear, when it won't open it is usually because the top cap is pinching the cable because I did not get the expansion plug all the way flush with the steerer. That's because I travel with a hen house bag so I take the fork off pretty often.

how old is it?
The original material had an issue, and felt replaces those rear brakes (and adds a stronger spring).

Take it to a retailer and you should be able to get it replaced.

Once i did that, everything seemed to work well

I have one on my IA10 and fits and functions perfectly. However I don't know if the mounts and opening are the same on IAx vs IAxx models.

The Omega X is compatible with both the original IA and the non-integrated IAxx frames. If you want to use the cover on the original integrated IA models you will have to do some DIY modifications. I believe some users have done this but I don't have any pictures.

Do you happen to know if it's compatible with the Felt DA? (most recent model).

I have one of the first IA FRD and had brake issues with the rear right from the start. Drove the LBS crazy. Felt finally realized there was a problem. (Mine would lock up). I was afraid to race it. They changed my brakes last summer with new updated ones. Many many miles later they have been perfect.
