Name of screw that holds the rear brake cable
The opening in the hex screw that holds the rear brake cable has become much looser than it used to be. What is the name of the part so I can order another one? (Hopefully they have some made of harder steel.) https://imgur.com/a/JT76Qog |

Dry bolts and misplaced wires account for the greater bulk of such complaints. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

(Hopefully they have some made of harder steel.) https://imgur.com/a/JT76Qog It is simply a clamp bolt and the question is whether it holds the brake cable tightly when it is tightened, If it does than I shouldn't worry about it. As the bolt should be clamping the cable between a flange or washer on the bolt and the brake arm itself. When it is tightened it shouldn't move at all. Your picture looks a bit strange, but maybe it is the perspective. See https://sheldonbrown.com/canti-direct.htmlto from a slightly different angle. -- Cheers, John B. |

If that clamp bolt gets enlarged much more so my hex wrench slips, it will definitely be a big problem. |

If that clamp bolt gets enlarged much more so my hex wrench slips, it will definitely be a big problem. I can't view your image, nor Mr Slocumb's but on most linear (V) brakes, the cable anchor is just an m6x1.0 bolt. For a cantilever carrier or arm anchor or a sidepull/ dual-pivot caliper it likely has to be a bicycle part. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Some people mistakenly grab a U.S. (inch) wrench and use it on metric screws that it _almost_ fits. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Obviously the guy needs a new bolt and Andrew told him what size that most likely is. Cheers |

The manual does not specify whether it uses American or metric sizes. I have just a set of American hex wrenches but could get a set of metric wrenches and see if one of them fits the clamp bolt better. Andy |

A local bike shop may well have a spare one lying about, as people have said, it's likely metric, there should be a clamp washer behind it (take a look at another one on the street). I'd prefer a spare one before I go medieval on its arse. |
