Just finishing up working on the bike when I snapped the bolt on one to the crank cotters. Anybody know a good place to hunt these down? I don't know of any LBSs that have been around long enough to have them sitting in a dusty box.

I've go the dimensions on the cotter. the only distinguishing mark on the cranks is a stylized "PR" inside an oval.

Thanks,
Chuck

A good LBS should be able to order them if they don't have them on hand. New ones are a lot crummier than old ones, though.

Thanks Dave,

I should have known...Sheldon has the answer to everything.

My LBS keeps these on hand, although the quality is nowhere near the originals.
