Missing part of Ultegra Brake

[grellboy]

Recently stripped bike down for repair. Now mostly rebuilt now but before I hand it back to bike shop for new cables, just reinstalled brakes but having checked it seems I've lost a bolt. I have circled the missing part. Will the lbs have something similar knocking around? Or do I need to order a new one? If so, what is that part even called!?? 😂

Cable adjuster thingy !
I would think a decent bike shop would have one

As above but just in case SJS will almost certainly be able to supply it for you.

Fantastic resource for clumsy hex rounders etc. 😁

I would get down to your LBS. The thread dia/pitch will likely be the same for all the Shimano range so if you're not precious about Ultegra . . . - who will care?

I know some people have jobs they just don't do, but re cabling is relatively straightforward and quite therapeutic and requires minimum of tools, bar a set of decent cable cutters.

How have you lost that.... PS they fall out if the cable isn't there - had to tape mine to the calipers when I was doing the bike refurb, and mine are 35 years old, so not easy to replace like for like.

Yeah, these buggers are easy to loose when you take the breaks off. As others have said, I would recommend going down to LBS and asking if they happen to have some lying around. A bit painful to replace just the bolt for £15 if the whole break assembly can be had for £50.
