There should be a little metal bar that keeps these drop levers from going all the way up. I lost it as it was really loose. Well its somewhere in my room but I dont know when it fell out so I doubt ill find it.

Can I buy a new one? What is it called?

Quick release stud.

unlikely to be a replacement part on it's own - try a small nut and bolt

New brake lever time or a bodge...

Just use a piece of studding, or chop the end of a bolt of a suitable width.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
