Litespeed obed canti brake post
One of my rear canti brake posts snapped on my 1990s litespeed obed and going crazy trying to find replacement- the typical 10-8mm you find online look identical but thread is different- tried old cannondale and the diameter is too small. Of course litespeed was no help. Does anyone have any idea what size they are or where to get. Thanks

Wow, snapped canti post. That would make me think twice about downhills. And if it were the front?? 
Sorry, I'm no help, obviously. Tough first post question but welcome anyway.

If you can't find one for sale anywhere, send me a good one and I will machine you a copy. It won't be titanium, but I bet the originals were aluminum or steel anyway.
But check around first. I'd rather not make something you can buy! And you'd likely rather not pay machinists' rates!!
