Wanted: Nipples (aka cable stops)

well not nipples... but nipple like cable stop (i think that's what they're called) that go on top of old school weinmann brake levers so that the cable housing has something to be wedges in (see picture).

I've carelessly misplaced the other one and was wondering if anyone might have upgraded their brakes whilst converting an old frame and has one spare.

if not, any suggestions on how to create a makeshift one

thanks

I'll have a look when I get in. I pretty sure I do.
How urgent?

you're are a star BRM. thanks in advance for looking. it's not actually too urgent. I;m on holiday (oh the joys of teaching) and it had just occurred to me that i;ve got all the bits to put together another bike so i thought i'd use my time constructively and do it. This will be the spare bike (after the beater) that people can borrow when they come to visit...

if you do have one, my time is flexible so can come and meet you wherever is convenient

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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