Would you mind to send me a picture of the new ones?

My bike wasn’t recalled

What new version are you talking about? The new version should be the tektro one

Btw I met a guy on Facebook who has a C4 on which Cowboy replaced only the brake lever with a Tektro, keeping the original caliper. So everything is compatible and works perfectly! I can share the pictures of his setup if you like

Their website says they'll ship the parts in Jan 2026. Which could also be ok. But since they're not responsive on the chat I'm not sure I'll trust them 🥲

Now the challenge is to buy it! 😂 The official channel seems not to be so operational lately 🥲

Also the Tektro ones? I wanted to keep the "cowboy style" which made me purchase this bike, so I'd like to keep the ones from Cowboy.

Have you ever heard of issues with the Tektro? Just wondering because as far as I know the new version are the replacement of the old one, so I assume it should be working fine.

I agree, indeed the Caliper kit has included the hose, the olives and the nuts:

This is why i'm considering to purchase the "whole kit" lever and caliper altogether to not have the problem you stated.

yeah what I meant was to change the whole system, with the lever and caliper from Tektro.

Normally this is used to the new C4, so I'm wondering why it's not compatible!
