Tonight I learned that limit screws off a front derailleur will work as centering screws on dual pivot brakes.

Did a tune up for a friend last night so her bike would be ready for a ride this AM. I had to scavenge a set of brake pads and a centering screw for her front brake.

Went to the LBS to get replacement parts for my Trek today and learned the centering screw was not sold seperately. They gave me a bolt that would work, but it had a large head and I did not like it.

So I got in my parts bin and scavenged a limit screw off an old derailleur and voila, I am back in business.
