So, I'm an idiot and took my girlfriends new bike for a bit of a test ride without the brake set up. That means, I hadn't tightened the "pinchy thing" (technical term for the bolt and plate which pushes against the brake cable). It fell off somewhere between Great Eastern/Bethnel Green and a couple blocks south of Spitalfields. I'm not going hunting. Does anyone have an extra? The one on a Tiagra is very similar, but the bolt is just a tad large.
I would just throw on either my Tiagra or the the ancient Weinmann on her old Raleigh, but the drilling in the fork is too high for both (they wedge themselves into the headset, making life difficult if you like to do things like steer).
