Hi, a bit of help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a specialised secteur - first road bike .... (http://www.evanscycles.com/products/spe ... tch__plid_)
I asked a friend to help me with some brake adjustments - to cut a long story short he loosened the front brake from the frame and forgot to tighten it again ... I then pulled said brakes in anger resulting in the whole assembly pulling away from the frame and the recessed nut which holds the brakes to the frame pinged off never to be found.
So I have the whole brake set up intact and undamaged(as am I somehow) But I need what seems to be a recessed bolt of some kid that goes in the other side of the frame and secures the brake assembly to the bike .... I am assuming it is recessed as the bolt does not extend right through the front of the frame.
Anyone know what bolt I need - and am I just missing a bolt, or are there any other spacers, washers ect involved? I literally just have the brake assembly with the bolt sticking out.

Or check your brakes in the Sora tech documentation here

You could ask your "friend" to treat you to one?
And possibly some new bibshorts. I'd definitely have sh1t myself if my front caliper suddenly detached itself when braking :shock:0
