A big thank you to the gorillas that loaded my bags last night. Pulled a red eye flight back to McAllen, which wasn't all too bad, although I only got about 4 hrs of total sleep last night. Drove home and immediately got the bike out to clean and hop on the trainer. I knew it wasn't a good sign when I saw one of my caliper mounting bolts in the bottom of my bag! They also bent the derailleur hanger on the other side(luckily I took the derailleur off).I have a caliper that should arrive sometime Thursday, thanks to overnight shipping. If not, I'll be racing the 6hrs of Brownsville with only front brakes, which ought to make that race a little more interesting. That's what I get for using a soft bag! Looks like I get to shop for a hard case carrier.

That's quite an impact since it dusted your caliper tabs! Sorry I couldn't be of more help in tracking down your part. Where did you end up getting it from?
One of the shops here in town ordered it for me.I was shocked, most of the time they aren't very helpful.
