You might be able to find a brake on eBay, or if someone on here has a broken chassis you could take one off that and put it on yours? It was a bit of a faf but I managed it , perhaps just take a picture of how it's supposed to look before you take everything apart.

I've heard of people having these repaired at cycle shops. The brake system on Cameleon is similar to bicycle brakes. Explain to the shop that it's not under warrenty, otherwise they won't want to touch it for fear of invalidating your warrenty.


Also, ring Bugaboo distributors (even though you didn't buy yours new) and ask about repairs. You'd obviously have to pay for the repair, but there shouldn't be any reason for them to refuse you the repair service.

I took mine to a bike shop but the brake has a round bit on the end ( both ends, from memory) and a bike brake has the round bit on one end only.

They did say they would fit it for me if I could get my hands on a bugaboo brake though.

Lots of them break at the place where the chassis folds, rather than the brake, so you might be lucky if you appeal on here or check eBay gumtree Craig's list preloved etc...

This happened to me. I bought a new brake through Buggy Pit Stop. Mothercare in Lewisham said they can order one in and fit it too (I just called them in advance to check the bloke who worked there who could fit it was there that day). I actually ended up getting it fitted by Buggy Pit Stop in St Albans as co-incidentally I was going there to see a friend anyway.

Last week the brake was broken and my husband bought a new brake in ebay and it was so easy to change. He found many brake's sellers and he bought to the cheaper one. I leave the link where he bought it if you can help.

    • In my experience there is no fool proof solution to this with any company. Delivery drivers are people and people will make mistakes, cut corners, mis-understand instructions or simply not read them.  I've left instructions for parcels with just about every single company out there and at some point they've all screwed up.  I think the security camera is the best deterrent for thieves. In this case, my ring door bell spooked them off. I've just installed warning signs at my safe space to make it even clearer that they're being recorded. In the case that mistakes do still happen by the couriers, at least I know about it on the camera and can try to alert a neighbour if I'm not home.  Its sad that we have to turn our homes into fort knox with cameras but that's the world we live in. 
    • Ultimately unacceptable behaviour at many schools of all types was exposed by Everyone Invited, not just at Dulwich College. 
    • Come now, you have seen the constant threads concerning poor post and deliveries since the Dulwich office closed and merged with Peckham  Surly that alone tells you how it would compare to now as the whole system was way more efficient.  But despite the complaints and warnings here we are!!
    • Surely that would just make the system even more complicated?
