Brake adjuster strengthener

Background

on most wired bike brakes, there is one adjustment screw on the handle. In my exerience these can bend or collapse and then the threads do not engage anymore. your “reach of adjustment” is then limited. 

While I generally see the purpose of this slotted design, I see above situation as a bigger drawback than the following solution. 

Solution

this part is inserted in the screw and fills out the slot. 

Geometry

the provided part is for an adjuster with a 6mm inner diameter. It is 12mm long. 

the brake wire is usually 1.5 mm thick.

Use/remix

Scale/Cut/Remove in the slicer if your dimensions vary. 

you can also remix from here: Onshape

Parts A/B are a cut version of the other one. Those can be used on existing installations.
