Replacement limit screw
A few weeks ago a guy i ride with managed to go into the side of my rear mech with his spokes. the hanger bust, but luckily didn't push the mech into the spokes, and i had to replace the cable. however i've somehow only just noticed that he also took the head off the high limit screw. does anyone know if sram or anyone else would be able to supply a replacement sram red limit screw? it seems the mech is fine other than that, its completely fine as long as i never have to adjust the h limit, or would not having the head on cause any other problems?

the screws look like m4 x 15mm, aluminium, the end is slightly conical and smooth, presumably to avoid wear and give even adjustment, you could get normal screws and shape the end with a file or stone
they actually screw into plastic inserts, as long as that isn't damaged a new screw should be fine
otherwise try lbs, they may have a damaged rear mech they can give/sell you the screw+insert from
or you can buy a spares kit, not cheap though, for instance...

just in case anyone searches for this in the future... a guy at my local shop (cliff pratt cycles in hull) gave me a couple he had spare. they can be found at what looks a very reasonable price at carbon-ti.com"Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

About £1.50 for a pack of 50 from Screwfix. Take a couple and pass them on......0
