Missing bit from Ultegra Brake Calipers

Post by mnichols »

I'm building a bike from a combination of old and new bits, and one old bit that I'm reusing are my Ultegra Brake Calipers

But I'm missing the adjuster that goes in the top. Not sure what it's called. The cable outer goes into this bit that then goes into the top of the caliper. Then you turn it to add or remove tension

Anyone know what this is called and where I can get one?

'barrel adjuster' or 'cable adjuster'

you may find what you are looking for here

You will be able to find the correct part number by looking up the EV techdoc for your particular model of Ultegra. They have been making brakes with 'ultegra' writ upon them since 1980-something, so there are lots different models by now, all different.

cheers

Couldn't find any part number on the caliper, but visually they look like these, and I thought they were 6700 so took a chance and ordered

Interesting to see the price difference between Ultegra and Dura Ace prices for what is essentially a bolt

With that part your caliper will hopefully look like this.
