I’ve lost one of the set screws for my OmegaX-- the screw that adjusts the pad width. It looks like a common piece that I could pickup from the hardware store, but I am unsure about the size that I’ll need.
Any tips on the size or where I can track down a replacement screw?

Well, nevermind then. I just checked the box that the brake came in (I didn’t even know I had it sitting in the back of the tool chest) and TriRig included a couple of spares.
get more if running wide rims and then narrower ones on same brake. I have lost 2 thus far.

The screw you’re referring to is an M4 x 5mm set screw, and is indeed available at most local hardware stores. But as you noticed in your post above, we already supply two extras with every brake sold. Moreover, if you ever need to know the spec of any fastener on the brake, they are clearly illustrated in the installation guide at www.tririg.com/omega (under Installation → Installation Guide).
For reference, here’s a direct link to the image breakdown for all parts and fasteners on the Omega X:
Thanks, Nick.
The installation of the brake is so easy, I took one look at the sheet and tossed it. I am glad to know that this is available if I need it in the future.
Speaking of screws, the 2 high on the back plate that stick out the back, when mounting on IA these will dig into head tube if not careful. What are they for and can they be removed, seem to be odd size as well.
Thanks.
Never-mind my bad, I see they are a vertical stop for return spring. Trying to keep caliper as close to fork as possible but will add another spacer, large one by itself is not enough.
