BaGearA Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I managed to lose mine somehow and really really want to ride this weekend If anyone knows of someone that has one No a split pin won't work and A guide bolt also won't work
BaGearA Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 Why?Cause as it moves its going mangle the threads
greg_sa Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Why not use a split pin, with a small washer on the end and a thin piece of tubing over it, to protect the threads? Or even a bit of insulation tape should work? If you buy a new set of pads (maybe from your LBS) then you'll get a new retaining bolt...
Velouria Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Unrelated, but related - I discovered that I'd somehow sheared the head off the bolt that mounts the brakes to the handlebars. Everyone in my family is pleading ignorance, and I am sure I would have noticed this if I had ridden it like that. Now to figure out how to get the remaining bit out, and get a replacement. (Not my bike - something off the internet)

Velouria Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Carefully drill a hole in the bolt and easy outI suspect I might be making this the bike shop's problem. I once tried to drill a RaceFace crank bolt and ended up having to replace the crank...

Grebel Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Somebody with a lathe and a drill press could knock one of those up as a temp fix in less than an hour from a stainless steel cap screw if the threads are standard. Can you buy them loose locally?

Cycle East Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Generally the bolt is included in an original set of Hope pads. I'm sitting with the Hope sales rep and he suggests that you contact either The Bicycle Company or Epic Sports in Centurion, as they do carry original Hope products. I hope this helps.
Velouria Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Pic of boltDoesn't a new set of pads come with the bolt? EDIT: I see this was answered above - I got a little lost on the Hope webpage, lusting after lots of shiny things

Very handy, especially on those dreaded stripped cleat bolts. edit: can't get the link to post. It is called a Speed Out Bolt Extractor.Can get it from Verimark, Builderswarehouse, and I'm certain at Brights also. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi1oPak44jgAhWCtO0KHcl2BeEYABArGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD24_VOrrBWcCZxt3U6F9o8&sig=AOD64_37kZ8QOl7TW_eajI1obkUl8dSAxQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjH5u-k44jgAhXaWxUIHezqBioQ9aACCGY&adurl=https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi1oPak44jgAhWCtO0KHcl2BeEYABArGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD24_VOrrBWcCZxt3U6F9o8&sig=AOD64_37kZ8QOl7TW_eajI1obkUl8dSAxQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjH5u-k44jgAhXaWxUIHezqBioQ9aACCGY&adurl= https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwi1oPak44jgAhWCtO0KHcl2BeEYABArGgJkZw&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD24_VOrrBWcCZxt3U6F9o8&sig=AOD64_37kZ8QOl7TW_eajI1obkUl8dSAxQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjH5u-k44jgAhXaWxUIHezqBioQ9aACCGY&adurl=
