Title: Brake Block Bits - Save Them for Bodging !
Post by: LEE on 19 April, 2012, 04:27:42 pm

Save the nuts, washers and dome washers from your worn out brake-blocks.  They will turn out to be useful as spacers, for making your headlight position adjustable and so on.

I just used the chrome allen bolts as the perfect spacers to mount my Tubus Lowriders racks.

Valve nuts are useful to keep too.

I had the same problem with my Tubus lowriders. It's an easy enough fix, but it is annoying that you need to bodge such an expensive item.
