    hi folks, managed to round off the shitty little bolt on the bearing cover cap on a orange five, does anybody know what sort of screw this is?? and where on earth i can purchase one? in desperate need as i go on a biking holiday on tuesday 🙁

    does anybody know if orange sell them seperately or if indeed any one has the specific bolt maesurement i can get from a local screw store?

    please please help 🙁

    cheers j_me, i will be on the phone at the crack of dawn tomorrow, just pre-checking if anyone else knows of anywhere else that does them, just incase they cant get it to me in time?

    cant be the only fool to have rounded off one of these bolts – i must say i wasnt tightening tight and that was witha bloody torque wrench 🙁

    You can buy the full kit of the Orange website, bearings caps and screws,

    £14.99, I replaced my bearings yesterday, was nice and straight forward,

    the one on the drive side had rusted and fell apart, the other had

    seized with rust, less than 18months old, can only think the jet wash

    has wrecked them, I do try to avoid them but s**t happens. 😯
