i have slightly "rounded" one of the crank/pinch bolts today and although its just about ok i probably need to replace it now rather than wait until my next maintenace session where i will surely "round" it completely!

so where can i buy a couple of spares from as i can't see them on wiggle etc (unless of course i am looking in the wrong place!)

thanks

Stock bolts. Use decent stainless ones if you can but any fastener supplier should have them

cheers tandem,

do you know what size they are?

are the drive side and non drive side the same sizes?

M6. They are only on the NDS though?

M6 x 20mm-ish. They may actually be slightly shorter than that but M6x20 will work.

If you use ones that are about 5mm longer than the normal ones then you reduce the risk of stripping the threads.

Disc caliper bolts work (at least Shimano ones do).
