Sounds scary! Was it an Allan key by any chance? I've done a fair share of bicycle repairs, and never had a problem after investing in a proper set of allan key

Sounds scary! Was it an Allan key by any chance? I've done a fair share of bicycle repairs, and never had a problem after investing in a proper set of allan keys[1]. Several times I or friends have rounded the slot with a cheap tool, but fixed it just by trying again with the better tool. Glad your bike was okay in the end.

It was a SRAM torx, which are incredibly soft and I had the correct tool with me. I don’t like SRAM brakes. I do like the electronic shifting though. My brakes are now using Shimano Allan keys. I do fanaticise about using Shimano brakes, for a true mongrel bike.
