I have just bought a second hand Gitzo Studex Mk1 which is missing one of the rubber grips on the rings that lock the legs. Can one buy replacements and if so where? Thanks Simon

A piece of garden hose would probably do the job (the cheap stuff, not the nylon reinforced type). Heat it up to stretch it.

gitzo's at least in the US. have life time warranties, so they may fix it for free. If not try some gaffer's tape, it's great stuff.
