  1. Anybody got any suggestions as to where I can get replacements for the
    plastic quick-release cams for mid-'80s (I think) Dia Compe road
    calipers? These are the ones that work with a metal wingnut-like
    thing to allow the caliper to be opened for wheel removal. Two local
    shops professed not to know where to get them, but that didn't
    surprise me much; they were not my favorite sources. I've got one
    that's broken out completely now, and another that's cracked, and I
    don't relish the task of whittling out new ones with the Dremel and
    the drill press, though I have figured out a way that I can do so if
    necessary. (I'd probably swap my spare 105 calipers on to the bike
    before I'd make new cams, though.)
