alex_trials Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hey guys,I've overtightened the screw on the ring that attaches the brake to the handlebars by accident and the hole that the bolt screws into has cracked. The crack is about 3-5mm long but it now means that i can't tighten the bolt, so the brake is loose on my handlebars and can swing freely. What can i do about this? (the brake is a Magura HS33.)ThanksAlex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
