Or any Shimano twin-pivot front caliper brake that can be cannibalized for the bolt. Someone must have one in their spares box?

    This time of year many bike shops will have rear brakes ruined by copmmuters riding in muck with no 'guards - bolt will be fine.

    Ah Nick perhaps I did not make this clear — I need to swap a front brake bolt in to the rear brake. Standard rear pivot bolt is too short for external nut fitment.

    Amazingly, you can buy a longer, nut-fit brake bolt from SJS or Spa Cycles as a detached spare, made by third-party suppliers, for less than a tenner. The full bolt assembly from Shimano is £80!
