Finally after two months of waiting my chinarello has arrived :D . I have Planet-X superlight brake calipers, however even with the longest brake bridge bolts supplied (28mm) they are still too short and i cannot secure them to the frame, front and back :( . I saw some brake bridge bolts (35mm)on the ribble website and wondered if they will fit, or does anybody know where i can get two bolts from :roll:I understand that when you purchase a Pinarello from a dealer it comes supplied with two special brake bridge bolts so as a last resort could try them. . Please dont say try my LBS they are effin useless in that department.

    Perhaps pm P_Tucker, he's just built up one, hasn't he? Glad it's arrived anyway. I was getting fed up with your whinging. :lol:

    You might get somewhere if you ask for 'extra length brake nuts' and not bolts.

    Can't help I'm afraid - I fitted DA7900 brakes straight out of the box with no problems.

    As a further last resort, an engineering firm will be able to make these. You just need to supply a sketch or sample of exactly what you want.
