    Managed to round off two of the bolts on my dropout. CRC, wiggle and presumably others, list bolts in sizes of M4, M5, M6, can someone explain what these sizes mean please??

    thanks

    M for metric the number is the size across the threads in mm

    The number is the rough external diameter of the bolt thread.

    What type of dropout?

    Kona dawg deluxe 09, there are 3 of them, 1 constantly works loose, despite loctite and the other two are solid but rounded off.

    Indeed, McMoonter – and I'm just glad it's, umm, 'wipe clean'… 😉

    Wipe clean is essential given its foreign content.

    I read a book on threads once. Interesting things. Bearings too.
