Ace hardware near moi has an huge selection of bolts. Harder to find are the washers that fit the bolt AND the seatcluster hole. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

(+) 1 on bicyclebolts.com -- their stainless steel bolt quality is quite good. You don't have to buy the Tamper Proof caps (they have regular hex head types as well) -- I use the Tamper Proof caps because I lock my bike up here and there in NYC. On Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at 9:20:51 AM

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

I hadn't tried them in a while but a few years back I went to Home Depot by my old house and they were pretty well stocked up with all sorts of socket cap hex bolts that were useful on bicycles, so I stocked up. I never bought an M6, I guess, because I didn't have one in my collection big enough

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

I second the Ace Hardware suggestion. Beware of using a stainless nut with a stainless bolt unless you use anti-seize, they can gall. A metric class 8.8 (~SAE grade 5) or 10.9 (~SAE grade 8) bolt works well if you don't want stainless. Laing On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 8:26:36 PM UTC-5,

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

Ace Hardware usually has a pretty good selection of bolts. From what I’ve learned about bicycle fasteners, chrome-plated steel is stronger than stainless, so that’s an option for you as well. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Nov 7, 2017, at 5:00 PM, Bill

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

In my experience, both Home Depot and Lowes suck for bicycle fasteners. Home Depot sucks way more than Lowes, but both are pretty useless. A proper fastener store is best for having everything, but they often hate you if you are only buying 1. Ebay has essentially everything, but sometimes

bicyclebolts.com has security bolts for that, too. I think they are stainless. But you will have to carry a dedicated security allen wrench on the brevets. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

Both Home Depot and Lowe's were sold out of M6-1.0 x20mm stainless socket cap bolts. Sigh. They had mild steel ones so I took those as a temporary measure. The Lowe's guy said he had a truckload of fasteners to unload and stock so maybe I'll go back later in the week. On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

OK you were asking for the SIZE of the seat post binder bolt on a Rivendell frame? Woosh! I missed that entirely. I guess size is one of many specifications. I concur with Brendan that it's an M6. On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 2:26:34 PM UTC-8, Jim Bronson wrote: > > Yes thanks that's

Yes thanks that's what I was looking for. I'm going by home Depot on the way home. I won't use my torque wrench on it. Lol... On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 4:19 PM Brendan McD wrote: > It uses an M6 bolt and nut. I think the length of the bolt is 20mm, but > you may be able

[RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

It uses an M6 bolt and nut. I think the length of the bolt is 20mm, but you may be able to get away with a shorter length. I broke my binder bolt on tour and stopped in a local hardware store and picked up a few extras for a few dollars. I put a dab of grease on it and haven't had any

Re: [RBW] Re: Binder bolt and nut specs?

haha OK I think you are asking for what value to set on your calibrated adjustable torque wrench for the seat post binder bolt on a Rivendell frame. Correct? There is none. Tighten it just enough so it doesn't slip. Do not overtighten. Here's a link to Park Tool's article on the topic,

What are they for a Rivendell? Sorry was just going into doctor's office and hit send. On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 3:52 PM Bill Lindsay wrote: > Absolutely > > On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 1:31:26 PM UTC-8, Jim Bronson wrote: >> >> -- >>
