Relatively new to biking. Was doing a quick release on my tires and this piece broke. Do I need to replace before I bike again? Any cost estimates? Thanks all š

Yes, because when you go to put the brakes back together thatāll turn sideways in the bracket and pop out.
Called a “V-Brake Noodle”. Shouldn’t be more than a couple of bucks.Ā
IF and only IF it still stays retained in the hinged bit, I’d ride it until the new part arrives. But I would adapt my riding, aka ride slower etc.Ā
Good opportunity to learn how to replace a brake cable, as you’ll need to snip/pull off the cable end cap anyway.Ā
Check out the Park Tools YouTube page for how to videos on everything. New to biking, but soon you’ll be a pro
Thanks all! I decided Iād rather let a pro handle it ā ran right over to Velocity bike shop in Del Ray. 15 bucks later and Iām on my way. If youāre in the DMV, canāt recommend them more!!
