[Closed] 1" threaded headset bolt...where can I find one?

Barry,

do you mean the bolt that goes thru' the stem, which has that little wedge/ clamp thingy on the bottom?

about 4 or 5" long? clamps the stem into steerer tube of forks?

I think I have a few of those knocking around, if so mail me your address and I'll get it in the post.

That's the one Matt, I have wrecked the end of mine by using the wrong size alan key.

Thanks very much, I'll mail you now.

Tom.

How long is the old one?

I've got one here but not sure it'll be long enough.

Watch out, though, there are several different threads out there, so you better replace the bolt AND the wedge. Also, there are various different diameters for the wedge even for 1" forks (due to varying wall thicknesses of the steerer), I recently needed to replace the bolt of an old Syncros 1" threaded stem, the wedge was still okay. I tried a few I had lying around and from a bike shop selling second-hand stuff but ended up getting a new bolt made by a workshop as none of the bolts I tried fitted.

I have just chucked two out in the bin in my workshop - complete with wedges - let me know if you want me to retrieve them for you - length would be helpful

Its almost certainly a stock size and available from a local fasteners shop

Cheers Stu & TJ, I will get measuring. I am not at home at the moment, but the bolt is about [i]this[/i] long...if that helps?

Thanks all though. This is why this website is ace. 8)
