The gear cable on my inter7 hub is held the hub end by a grub screw rather than the usual hook arrangement. You can see where it goes centre of pic. Said grub screw has been lost. Anyone any idea what size is required. All I know is that it takes an 2mm hex key to adjust.

Might be a daft question but do you have any regular bolts to test with?

Not a daft question at all, but yes, have already had a rummage through the bits box - although I have just remembered I have a set of canti's somewhere with grub screw adjusters. I'll try and find them tomorrow and see if any good.

As a guess and compared to your mudguard bolt its looks about 4mm.

I think you could be right.

I've lost a grub screw recently and so now I'm using cone point versions because they are less likely to come loose.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
