I just bought a bare (unpainted) frame with canti braze-ons. The braze-ons don't have the posts installed! The braze-on has the three holes for the brake spring and is threaded for something I all the post. On other frames and forks that post is threaded for the brake bolt.
My questions are - what is that post called and where can I get one?

Thanks

If Reptilezs terms don't search out the right item try "replaceable canti post", boss or stud.

Happy searching.

Thanks, I found a few. It's not clear if male threads that match the frame are standard sizes - and there are definitely several choices for the female threads. I may see if a LBS has some in stock.

I have a bucket of posts at the shop from builds that come with discs and include the posts as extras.
PM me and I'll send you 4.
