Guess who stripped his new binder bolt nut tonight, while
UNDOING it.

Doh!

Anyway, my best bet for tomorrow is Decathlon, or maybe
Halfords BUT are these things a common item, or maybe a
few different types? Mine has a tubular 'nut' with a pip
on the underside of the head, that seats on the LHS of the
stem and a shoulder-type screw that does the clamping
force bit.

Hope I don't have to get one of Dawes, I can see that
taking a while :-(

They are rare. I couldn't get one at Halfords or the LBS, so
I cleaned up my old one when the frame was resprayed. One
witout a pip will work though.

I think they are pretty standard items. I have certainly got
aftermarket replacements, get stainless steel ones, alloy
are not strong enough

who came up with sommat that will do, at least until I can
get a replacement from the dealer. Wonder how good they are
at warranty stuff??

a replacement (less the underhead pip) was all of £2.59...
but without the bolt there is no saddle, and so the bike is
no use to me...
