now then..

no spare parts for suntour may have been the case in your neck of the woods, but i just purchased a replacement thrust bearing/washer/nut/cover assembly for my suntour superbe pro brakeset (btw, the ball bearings are actually being used to repair an incomplete and OT dura-ace 7700 caliper.. same size!) as well as a pair of superbe pro pedal cages

so the parts were available somewhere.. and now they are making their way to ebay
