and I've round over the bolt for the brakes on my Allez 24. Where can I purchase replacements?
What part of the brake is it from? Try your local hardware shop if it looks like an ordinary bolt.
Tip: Never throw away any bike part or accessory without first stripping it down and removing all the nuts and bolts. Every cyclist should have a box of such junk.

We really could do with an exchange web site for such stuff.

For some reason the title of this thread brings to mind all those emails that want to sell me bigger parts....

It's one thing offering to dig through the bits box for a particular part, but quite another listing everything in it on the off-chance that something will be useful to someone.

Absolutely. "Bits box" in my case is a euphemism for a house full of j..., er, useful spare parts.

Yes. At a Dr Bike last week someone was short of nuts for some bolts attaching the mudguards. The allen key nuts from V-brakes fitted perfectly. I usually keep them and some of the washers when throwing away worn-out pads.
Washers are at least as important to keep as nuts and bolts - you never know when you'll need 5 to make something fit.

I think listing everything in my junk boxes would be a bit of a waste of time, but I bet many people have a few rare items that it might be worth listing, especially things that you have bought and never used, or taken off the bike still in a usable condition.

Found a bracket on there that will do the job. I'll try in my LBS see if they sell them.
I'm so dumb. Went to my LBS and found a bracket for £1.99. Got it home and immediately started changing it over. When I took the old one off I found the nut was already in there, I'd just put the bolt in at the wrong end. On putting the new bracket in with my spares I found I'd already got a spare bracket that must have come with the light. Argh!!
