Brake question

Lit Hawk · 02-16-2019, 07:58 PM

So I jumped on my bike for a quick ride right now and heard something wrong with my brakes. When inspected I noticed my rear brakes were the problem. Can someone tell me what goes there. I found a nut that fits but Im not sure if it’s what supposed to go there. It fixed it for now but not sure if it’s correct and will cause problems down the road. TIA

You lost that nut support from caliper
Not all have that support and not really needed but I think it’s better
I have a couple of used supports if needed

It is needed to support the cylinder in place without it it’s rubbing against the rotor. Can anyone send me a pic of what’s there looks like or a link where I can buy one.

I have some in China - $5 including postage (used item tho)
Or just put a nut on it as some calipers have a nut not the support type nut.

PM me if that suits you.
