Nuovo Record is this one, but I guess they are same across the range....anyone has an idea what size this little bugger is? Or have a spare one?

cheers

Your local hardware store ought to have a box of circlips you could chose the best match

Cheers, was trying to find out the size as my local hardware store is full of under 12 year old kids

Then you can teach them all about how important this stuff is

They've probably never seen mechanical front derailleur, and couldn't comprehend its purpose anyway

I have a selection box of 'popular' sized E-clips (though who decides what is 'popular'?) and have tried a few. It's bigger than 3.2mm and smaller than 4.8mm. I've measured a Campag 7100008 as well as I can and reckon that its around 3.8mm but I can't get a caliper onto the shaft of the mech at the moment as it's still attached to a bike on my turbo. Either take the mech with you or buy an example or two in various sizes like 3.6, 3.8, 4.0 etc.
