Hi,
Does anyone know where you can get replacement spring clips for the threaded pad retaining pin on the xt brakes?
Thanks in advance

I've never known a pad bolt to come loose. Pointless component.

That's great thanks. Am looking because I found my bolt nearly 100% out, so not all that pointless!

My experience of similar pins with SRAM, the clips go missing and the pins can get stuck, round off or head snaps off and you have to drill out the pin. Usually because they do soft alloy pins on the high end ones for microscopic weight saving.
I chuck the pins now and use classic old split pins. Far better.

Split pin for me or a bit of key ring
