I didn't find any on AliX but Formula speedlock is an alternative,
My Zeno started to leak like h*ll so I recommend staying away from those if you value your health.  ;D

But do you have v1 or v2?

I had both, v2 was leaking & v1 had that lite clip to keep everything together. It's so tiny and if lost you can't use the brakes.
The clip is proprietary so once Zeno stops producing them you can't connect your brakes.

I had to order new clips from ZENO Taiwan in the middle of my bike packing trip.

The Formula Speedlock is both cheaper and have superior construction.

Is there a chance that you could drop me the link for the one you are talking about? I checked in google and i see actually the one for MTB stuff near the shifter/lever, And I need the one connecting in the middle inside the frame for a road bike.

Thanks in advance!
