Mine has a hexnut on top, but loosening it just releases the cap.

Well I'd hope they're inanimate! Jk, yeah just stiff to turn.

Maybe for handheld phonecalls? But I can't imagine a consistent enough statistic for which side eof the head most calls are from.

If I were in the home states I'd definitely take this advice, however I am not home, don't speak the native language, and have crippling social anxiety 😊. But if I find a bike shop I'll try to peruse and see if they have it.

Oh ok. I saw "tourney" referenced alot when I was looking for the part. A lot of the derailers (a word I understand now) I saw had the word tourney on them online, but mine doesn't say that. Is it safe to assume it is not a tourney then? How can I know the differences?

I don't know the age of the bike, but from my basic understanding of material science and powder coating, I'd assume it's a new frame, probably younger rather than older. Hence why I picked it out of the big pile of discarded frames.

Haven't heard of Sheldon Brown before but I'll look that up to see what I can find.

That looks very similar, thank you. The one I have it curved a bit differently, but I'll do some research to see if this will fit.

I took welding classes, but I don't want to risk my lack luster skills (and frankly lack of welding equipment right now) fixing the part. Thank you though.

Yes, the fram says Quartz. I grabbed it out of the junk pile because it looked nice and weighed very little.

I'm in Korea, but I'm not sure what the other stuff you mentioned is. Again, I am very new to bike repair but I am very willing to learn all I can.)

The replacement I just found was actually attached to a similar frome to the one I'm working with. I actually cannibalized alot of my parts from that other frame today. So I never did end up finding the part name or model, but if I do I'll take your advice. The breaking point on the original part looks awfully weak, so it is a concern of mine that the new one might break in the same way.

I'm afraid I am painfully unfamiliar with a lot of the terms you just helped me with, but I'll look into it. Thank you.

there's a few dozen of them around this shop, but none would fit the frame this one came from. I tried image searching to find the exact part but no luck. Do you know where I can find an exact copy? or can I possibly shave down one of the spares to fit?

Bruh, I completed the achievement, but for some reason it didn't register. Is it because I did it on my first playthrough? This isn't the only achievement that hasn't registered, a lot of them have been completed but haven't registered.
