Advice needed: Avid Arch Rival 50 spare parts

[PanoIgano]

Hi everyone,

I bought these two pair of Avid V breaks and found out that in one pair the nipples that go into the fork studs are missing:


and:

Does anyone happen to know whether I can in fact find these nipples to buy (I looked online and couldn’t find anything)?

Surprisingly they are removable!

Shimano V brakes don’t have this part as removable which makes sense I think.

Thanks in advance for you help!

Panos

I've experienced this problem. Cannibalise a pair of Avid 20 or 25's. I picked up a damaged pair of 25's for peanuts. Careful though, as some of the SD models are different and might not work.
