Those dinky little bolts that hold in brake pads... does anyone have a spare one?

[Andrew_Culture]

Because one of mine rounded out and needs to be replaced but I can't for the life of me find them for sale anywhere!

LBS will probably have them lying around

They come with sets of new brake pads, in my experience. I'll see if I can look one out. Please PM me your address.

I've got spares, just let me have your address again.

Out of interest, was it an allen key that rounded ? If so how did you get it out ?I rounded a 2.5mm one and tried everything to get the bugger out without any joy. Ended up scrapping them and buying SwissStop that come with pozi head ones.

Managed to grip it with pliers when I had same problem. Did manage to find online supplier, but no need as replacement blocks came with them.

Aren't these just generic Alan bolt of a set length, in which case there will be a supplier on Ebay?

 

[youngoldbloke]

Yes

I used the pliers part of my leatherman, and patience.

The bolts on my Magura discs are Torx - internal star - drive.

They are so small it would be easy to mistake them for allen - hex - bolts.

I rounded one off recently. Used a metal file to file away a straight edge on either side then pliers could get a good enough grip to move it.

Tip - when you replace them use a touch of copper grease on the threads .
