I got a Canyon Carbon SLX from the Canyon Outlet a month or two ago, and immediately swapped the 105 componentry over to a SRAM groupset from my old bike. In undoing the front brake, however, I pretty much stripped the Allen head of the retaining nut, which is/was titanium. Clumsy me, but I could tighten the nut enough for it to be OK.
I've since bought some new brakes, and these need proper torquing up, but the selection of nuts that came with the brakes are too large a diameter to fit through the hole. The only nut that fits is the one that came on it. I find this quite strange, and the guy at Canyon UK obviously does too, because I;ve been trying to get a new nut for three weeks with no clear answer.
It's a standard, right? The brake nuts for caliper brakes should all be the same outside diameter. The holes in the forks should all be the same? Why am I having this problem? Why has no one else had this problem.
