I'm transfering some components to a new frame. The Ultegra brakes
require a longer brake mounting bolt/pivot bolt to handle the thicker
seat stay bridge on the new frame.

Any idea where I can order up some longer bolts for this?
Do the big
catalog sites even carry these parts?

I think you could try a longer nut.

Speaking! I'm 6-foot-4 and pretty nutty... just ask my wife!

Oh, wait...

Anyway- I agree with John. Longer "allen" nuts are pretty common. If
your LBS doesn't have some, you can order them:

Might try a decent bike shop first if you have one around...very common
for a good one to have various lengths of brake 'nuts'..

Maybe that's why Landis tested positive- he was using the wrong length
nuts!
