Part for cafe mirror?
« on: March 30, 2007, 03:34:48 PM »
Can I get a replacement for the missing part in this pic?  I would be the screw and the "expanding bot" that hold it in the bars.





Thanks

You can buy inexpensive bar end weights that have a similar mount (expanding rubber) . You will have a spare.   I think the manufacturer name is SBK or Galindo.  I will look into it at work tommorrow.

If expanding rubber will do, I have used rubber fuel line as a replacement for those bar end rubbers when missing.

In Britain I used to use Rawl bolts and changed the zinc plated bolt for a stainless steel Allen head one.
 I think they may be called expanding bolts or concrete anchors in US?
They have several advantages over the pressed tin or expanding rubber. The extra weight damps down vibration in bars and the extra grip means they never slip. (even if you drop bike on them) I may have one if you need a picture for reference.
