Hey there!
This is driving me mad. One endcap is the last missing part to my current build (Nishiki from 1985). It's the end cap for the braze on on the chainstay.
Regular end caps with 5.7mm outer are to big, 4.7mm are too small and have to much play. Many older frames expect an even smaller one with 4mm outer, so the adapter i nicked from another frame doesn't fit as well.
I measured 5.2mm inner and there seem to be some adapter caps for it at SJS...
As I'm based in Germany and need that part quite urgent - is there an official Shimano counterpart for this piece or can anyone link to similar ones?
Thanks so much in advance....
