I've just broken the barrel adjuster in my dropper seatpost... Before i go looking for a replacement I'm wondering if there's any common alternatives. It's functionally the same as the adjuster on my various SRAM shifters, but the thread of the screw part is slightly smaller- the SRAM ones seem to be about M6, this one I think is M5. Any ideas?

    I will now answer my own question- Shimano use a narrower thread than SRAM and are compatible with the Superstar lever.

    It's a KS i900r... Pretty decent bit of kit really, had a wee bit of bother getting it to work at first (2 warranty returns to get it to stop sticking) but it's been great otherwise.
