Missing brake components

[Dmnic3]

This might seem as an obvious question but I have just brought an old bike and the Shimano brakes are missing the adjusters and clamps. Does anyone know where I can get some replacement bits from?

any good local bike shop or even halfords or on line at people like st johns

adjusters

as above, although some of the 'universal' type adjusters often don't fit. i've had this before, and i've bought a tatty caliper off ebay to canibalise: then you get exactly the right bits. just a thought...

Exactly, it will be cheaper to buy another set from eBay for parts. Look for Exage or RX100 but you might find that you could buy a better set of calipers altogether, maybe 105 or 600 as I'm afraid the ones you have are really low level.
