Title: Thread pitch/bolt size question Post by: booger on June 19, 2023, 08:26:07 AM Does anybody know the M size & thread pitch of the clutch basket bolts and spring retainer screws? I'd like to source some titanium replacements. Thanks

M 8x1.25 -20. Title: Re: Thread pitch/bolt size question Post by: booger on June 21, 2023, 09:06:26 AM I think you're chasing windmills Don... ;D M 8x1.25 -20. Quixotic! Likely. I've been slowly replacing all fasteners with Ti. Why? Dunno! I'm married to this bike. Might stick with stock on the grade 8 basket bolts vs Ti. But the spring retainer screws which are M5x20 will be replaced. Title: Re: Thread pitch/bolt size question Post by: krista on June 22, 2023, 09:28:26 AM I just buy stainless M5x20 from McMaster.

Nate gave me a cryptic reply, and you were a bit clearer but never gave a reason. I require clarity. Thanks.

I doubt anyone would notice. Stainless solves the rust problem. Possible metallurgy problems and sourcing? Solved and time tested by krista.
