  • XT lever reservoir lid – replacement bolts?

    I’m referring to the two machine screws labelled “1” here that hold the lid on:

    When I first bled the brakes they started leaking from the lever lids because I failed to do the bolts up hard enough. I’ve since had them bled at two different shops and had the same problem after a while. The bolts have cross-head screwdriver caps – does anyone know what size the threads are so I can source some hex-head replacements?

    Ta, Simon

    Yep, my spare Hope ones fitted which have a nice T10 cap. Only time will tell if that’s cured the leaking…
