Where does this little plastic thing come from?

JaiRo

Hi guys,

I was changing some tyres today and when I was putting the rear wheel back on, this little thing popped out of somewhere.

Where does it come from please?

Cant flippin find a place where it 'slots' into and I havent messed about with the derailer, cassette etc.

Your help is much appreciated as Im riding tomorrow and dont want to ride messing anything up.

thanks in advance for your help/

It goes around the caliper mounting bolt to stop rotation.

to be fair, they're not really particularly important, most bikes don't have them.
