So I spaced out the brake that was rubbing the headset on the girls bike, but with the big enough washer, the brake bolt is to short. Woe is her, I need a longer brake bolt... any one got one going spare I can pick it up at cm or pedalo time.

Longer bolt or a longer nut for the bolt? I think I have some extras lying around...I can bring them tomorrow

both probably but the bolt from the caliper to the back of the fork crown is too short for any nut, with the washer.

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.
