Brake Screws...

Posted on
  • Hey chaps, bit of a stupid question I'm sure.

    I recently sheared off the little screws that hold the brake cable tight on the brakes on my 80's Peugeot fixie.

    I've been to the local bike shop, but they don't have any because its a shit shop and if you haven't got disc brakes they are not interested (bunch of twats that run it). Also, I guess the type of break is pretty old now.

    Anyone know where I can get some? I tried searching online, but I have no idea what the screws are actually called, and I couldn't find anything remotely similar.

    As a bodge until I get some proper ones, I'm using a regular nut and bolt with a fuck load of solder to hold in place, but obviously I can't move them now and the pads are sitting a mile away because the cable keeps slipping through....

    Cheers

  • A new brake would be more reliable, especially if the bolt has sheared off inside the housing. Maybe one or two or more on the classifieds. Or new. Depends on your budget.

  • something like this?

  • Ah. Thanks rive gauche - I was thinking of more modern brakes - I do believe you have supplied the answer.

  • That sir, is exactly what I am looking for.

    Much obliged.
