Bottle Cage Screws

I use stainless steel socket head cap screws, 5mmX10mm 0.8mm pitch. They attach most things to the bikes.

So is "stainless steel socket head cap screws, 5mmX10mm 0.8mm pitch" what I say to the guy at Home Depot?

5mm Hex head / 5mm Allen key fitting.

I don't think there are that many different ones in terms of thread pitch and 10mm long is about right though some cages come with 12mm long now...

I suppose that you haven't got one that you can take along and show the guy?

Cheers

Just print out this page and take it along, he will get the drift.. 🙂

Home Depot does not stock them in stainless. They will only stock black steel. Try loosescrews.comloosescrews.comOpen ↗ they have them all and are very easy to do business with. Choose the cheap shipping, I got my order delivered in three days

Do you think I can just take my old screws out and ask him to find a match?

ya that will work

black is better then silver anyway....

Black may be beautiful, however not too good for a bottle cage mount. They rust. :eek: I find lots of condensation on the bottle cage, frame and bottom bracket area when using frozen water bottles. That's why I use and recomend stainless steel (or alloy, ti, nylon screws) 😎

I was thinking of spending 2 dollars max on like 10 screws. I live in Toronto. What are some good places to go to?

they do make black alloy screws... but just make sure u grease them b4 u put them in and you wont have problems
