[#10072221]

Anyone know what size bolts I'd need to mount a calliper on the frame post mounts?

Got some second hand brakes but no bolts. I'm OK for the front as I have the PM adapter with bolts and washers - just need to know what size for the rear?

Length I can work out with a cable tie to determine the depth of the hole on the frame, I just need to know what spec size the thread is.

Thanks

They're M5 aren't they? They certainly take a 5mm allen key (in general)

M6x1 (standard pitch) iirc.

Worth noting that hex head size doesn't necessarily bear any relation to the thread size, which is what's important.
