edited October 2008 in MTB buying advice
Washing my bike this morning and I noticed the bleed nipple cap ( part no Y-8B2 14 000 ) is missing on the rear caliper cant find anywhere that sells them in the UK all I can find is US or Europe

Any one point me in the right direction of some nipple caps they dont need to be genuine shimano the diameter of the nipple is 4.7mm

    I've lost both my bleed nipple caps, I'd be interested if you ever locate any!

    Order them on ultimatepursuits.com and get them sent to your LBS and when you collect you pay the balance of the order IIRC.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Found one of mine on the decking at the back of the house this afternoon, didn't even know it had fallen off. Don't seem to stay on to well do they :cry: .
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result
