Hi,
Please could someone help me: I recently got a pair of 2nd hand Juicy 5s and am delighted with them. Unfortunately they don't have the bolts to attach the caliper to the disc mounts and I was wondering whether it was possible to purchase these from a builders' merchant. If so, what length and thread pitch would I need?
Thanks in advance,
James
They're 6mm x 1.0mm thread, length dependent on which mount you're using. You'll also have to factor in the depth of the concave/convex washers.Try your local engineers suppliers.
It's only £4 from CRC ([url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=21475 ]link[/url]) for the Avid bolts and CPS washers.
Sorry, I have the bolts which mount radially the caliper to the bracket; however, I'm missing the bolts which go from the bracket and attach to the mounts on the frame and the forks. Apologies if this is what you are referring to but I don't this I was entirely clear in my original post 😳
Caliper bolts are all the same(as far as I'm aware)& any will fit any other as all the threads on forks or frames have the same standard thread size.I'd go to your LBS
They're M6 bolts.You'll need ones about 18-20mm long. They're pretty standard. LBS would have allen key ones, but a hardware store might have some (not necessarily allen key heads though)
