Cleat Screws

Recommended Posts

The cleat bolts are normal 5mm metric thread by 8mm long so if you don't succeed at your LBS then go to any industrial bolt store (Action Bolt, Norbolt, etc) and ask for M5x8mm Button-Head Hex Socket Bolts (you can probably buy six stainless steel bolts for less than the cost of one 'cleat bolt' from your bike shop).

 

edit: Shimano road cleat bolts are M5x8mm. Look cleats use M5x10mm. and Shimano mtb cleats use M5x12mm Countersunk Hex Socket Bolts

I know the road bolts are a bit special, M5 cap screws with slots and a bigger head. I battled to find at normal fasteners shops that is the same head size.

In an emergency on the trail, remove a bottle cage bolt.

And if those dont fit on the trail, you can take a bolt off your front rotor.  they have 6 bolts so removing  one wont be an issue.  i know cause i did it as my water cage bolts didnt fit.  i now keep extra bolts in my tool kit.
