Dredging up this old thread to see if anyone has any dust cap intel: Got one or know where I can get one for some Atac carbon xs? Thanks!

Hey Steve,
I actually ended up sorting my pads out today. I ended up using some Madison Aztec Road System pads which fit the old bolts (which I believe are M5): https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brake-blocks/aztec-road-system-standard-brake-blocks-charcoal/
Just had a test ride and they work pretty well, definitely 50%+ better than the old pads!

A good friend of mine had a couple of bikes taken from his garden shed on Tuesday night, if people could keep an eye out?
One is a white Specialized Model Allez Elite, Frame Number: WUD80818359D (Pics attached)
The other is a black/red Giant Avail,Frame Number: C14K5087
Little hope of getting them back I guess and the police have already closed the case.

Thanks @MCamb - all sorted now. Would that work? I can't seem to get my head around the physics!

You know how it goes - you're changing the bars and stem on you partner's bike at 6:00 in the evening and the f**king stem is 5mm narrower than the one you're replacing and you have no spare spacers.
Does anyone (who potentially also lives in SE London) have a 1 1/4 inch headset spacer they could throw at me from a safe distance? (In exchange for a beer or two). Preferably 10mm - but I'll take anything right now.
Thanks guys and gals.

Yeah that's right, the thread matches the old pads. It's so so much better now! Frame is a Balk (rebadged Eddy Merckx Pista, but rather ratty and under the radar, which I quite like ) originally a "hire" bike from a track in Rotterdam (I believe). The EDCO headset was a bargain NOS from a Ripley jumble many moons ago; honestly the best threaded headset I've ever owned. I had to get the central spline of the brake modified so it would fit: It's now an eccentric spline that threads through the crown and then moves up so the caliper has enough drop to work.
