quick bolt help

Well, I'm not a Bike mechanic and know nothing about Gary's Bikes, but the Bolt you're talking about is probably metric..

A 5mm Allen wrench will fit an M6 Cap head screw (bolt), in which case, the pitch isn't measure in TPI (threads per inch) rather it will be .75 for a fine thread or 1.00mm for a coarse...

So you'll need either:

An M6 X.75 (fine) screw

or

An M6 x 1.00 (coarse) screw....

If you can take the old screw to the store that would be great, you can then match the pitch and length easily...

Hope this helps.....

Sorry to be a bother but is there a standard for gary fischer bikes as to the threads per inch and diameter of a bolt that recieves a 5mm allen wrench?
I have bar ends on a mountain bike and I striped the head. I want to go to home depot to buy a replacement but I am not sure if I can find the right one.
The reason I ask is that I dont see a nut for the bolt it seems the bar end is tapped to recieve this bolt.

any idea or links are appreciated.
thank you for your time and have a good day

HFC!! Take the bolt out of the other one and go match it up at a good hardware store. Hint...it's metric.
