I just ordered a replacement Clamps for my Campagnlo shifters after I stripped mine out. Guess how much one of those bolts cost from campy! $25! On the other hand I found a company in China that makes bootleg ones except in titanium for $8 a clamp. So I ordered two and with shipping it comes out to $22. So if they're good, awesome, if not I'm not out a ton of money.

My bike repairs consist of whatever i can find in my box of old spares and bolts and zipties. Chinese parts would be a huge step up for me.

Home depot. Though my newish road bike hasnt needed any little parts like that.

Chain/chainrings however, are a different story....

I've never liked Campy parts, and part of that was the price, and this just reinforces that. Jesus! Switch to SRAM dude, I did (from Shimano) and have never regretted it.

Yes, but

1. You shouldn't strip your bolt in the first place.
2. They look soooo nice.

I just finished cobbling together an old Peugeot's brakes using some left over cable and a new(er) centerpull yoke I bought off the bike collective.
