Stripped thread on barrel adjuster

    Cleaning and tuning up my bike yesterday, I noticed the thread for the barrel adjuster on the front brake (campag xenon) has become stripped and is now unusable. Tensioning by hand and using the fixing screw has the brake working, but I'd like to replace the barrel adjuster. A quick google has drawn a blank, and I'm wondering if these parts are readily available or do I need to replace the entire brake set. n.b. the xenon adjusters are slotted / rectangular section, rather than round.

    This ?

    http://www.dotbike.com/productsF.aspx?FIND=campagnolo%20brake%20adjuster

    I've never heard of dotbike and have never dealt with them so I've no idea if they're any good.

    Thats the one ok. Mind you, given that I can get a new set of veloce brakes including two of these adjusters on CRC for about twice the delivered price of the single adjuster on dotbike, I'll probably just upgrade the brakes.

    Actually, searching again based on the part no on your link, I see it here for €7. Thanks again!

    Not sure if it's of any help, but the Campag site lists both Cycleways and CycleSuperstore as "Campagnolo Pro-Shops". Whether they actually stock that particular part is another matter entirely of course.

    And certainly of no use in this instance since they don't seem to have the part, but perhaps of use in the future if trying to source replacement Campag parts here is another UK site that sells some bits and pieces that might be hard to source elsewhere.
