  • Where can I buy a split-pin for Shimano disc brakes?

    Not only did I contaminate my rear pad/rotor when bleeding my SLX brakes, I somehow managed to lose a split pin. Yes, I know i’m an idiot. Does anyone konw if these are available to purchase as a spare part? I couldn’t find any anywhere. Alternatively, does anyone know what brands of replacement brake pads come supplied with a split pin? A quick scan of Chain Reaction suggests that genuine Shimano pads come with a split-pin, whereas other brands do not.

    Thanks!

    any ironmongers will have them.

    failing that I just use a straightened paperclip that’s then wound.

    Some shimano replacement pads come with them, some don’t…As Stoner, any ironmonger or B&Q will have what you want for pennies.

    Brilliant, thanks guys. There is a decent ironmonger within a lunchtime-breaks-walk from me. Why does everything always go wrong before a weekends ride?
