Campagnolo brake issue

[Tricky1]

The brake is a 2011 Campy, single pivot rear caliper. The threaded bolt from the caliper (which mounts through the brake bridge) sheared off during a ride. Trying to determine if parts are available for the repair or a new caliper is necessary.

After looking at the diagram of the caliper that the bolt is imbedded in one of the arms, and isn't a simple bolt swap? Hopefully the photo attached.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

That issue is not a “typical” controversial issue (e.g. SRAM battery or shimano dura ace cassette issues) so despite its age I suspect the Campagnolo service center for your country will warranty the part/brake without much question.z

Not likely. Possible user error - installed with too long nut that bottomed out when tightened.

I would suggest R5 needs very short nut.

Here's another photo.

This happened today, and I haven't yet had a chance to bring the bike in for analysis. For now, I was curious if parts are available or this warranted full replacement.

Campagnolo N.A. is luckily 30 minutes from me if they need to see it, but they are out of the office til Monday. Just want to get this repaired and back on the road.

The easiest and quickest solution may be finding a used caliper on ebay.

Probably, just curios to see my options.

Caliper pulls to bits easily.
Either get a cheapo caliper and cannibalize for the shouldered bolt, or you should be able to get one through campag.

Like valbrona says, its possible you've bottomed the nut trying to get it tight.
