What the hell is this bit? (tiny washer thing)

[winjim]

I've been working on the new build today, mainly sorting out cabling. When I was tidying up I found this teeny tiny washer type thing. Does anybody have a clue where it goes? Long shot I know.

Looks like an inner tube lock nut

or spacer for brakes

It's a king-pin washer. The only way this can be on your floor is if the king-pin nut has come off. The king-pin assembly holds the whole bike together.

...or maybe it's something else

Far too small for a lock nut, and the bike doesn't have any brake blocks yet. I think it might be part of the shifter, but I hope not.

I thought that was the Scronch pin ?

No, it's a modern bike so it's got those new scronchless fittings.

Wrong colour !

You are right or it could be Hollow-Scronched

 

[Dogtrousers]

It's a tape measure, I think.

Bin it.

It probably doesn't matter.

It's the washer off the Jesus Christ bolt that holds the whole house together. I'd get out of there, and right quick.

It's a doughnut for a very small robot.

 

[winjim]

It appears to be exactly the same diameter as Campagnolo Ultrashift gear cable housing. Hmmm...

Its probably off that drill you were fixing last week.
