New bolts and face plate for stem?

mclarent

Hi All,

Due to stupidity, I need a couple of random spare parts(!)

*I need a new bolt (and nut?) for my seat clamp (stripped the old one with my "handy" folding multitool - doh!)
*I need a new face plate for my stem (left it in Italy after a cycling trip - doh!)

Any ideas where I can get such parts?

Thanks!

What stem is it?

It's a RC DA-32 3D, as supplied with my Bianchi.

I think you are in new stem and clamp country. Annoying but not wallet breaking

Ebay ?! Or contact the manufacturer/supplier of the bike, you never know they may just post what you need for free ..

Can I hijack for one post?

When torquing up the faceplate bolts, is there a certain pattern to follow? Clockwise, anticlockwise, diagonals? You know... like you have to be mindful of when fitting a new cylinder head?

I'm certain there is, but I cannot find anything in my owners manual.

Top left -> bottom right -> top right -> bottom left and repeat.

Nice one! So quarter turn each time until the Nm required is reached?
