I've just noticed that Shimano seemt o have replaced the wee bolt that held the front cages together (and meant you could remove the mech without spllitting the chain) all seem to have been replaced by rivets, so can I still get a bolt? - one of mine just rounded out - possibly why they've been deleted as they were pretty cr@p quality!

    It was LBS then fastener shop, yes, suspect a fastener shop may struggle to match the low profile head!
