Disc Brake Adapter Mounting Bolts?

sdalby

I need some new mounting bolts for an Avid rear disc adapter. I can't seem to find specific replacement bolts so will these do?

I'm assuming that you mean the bolts that attach the adapter to the fork/frame, not the bolts that attach the caliper to the adapter. If this assumption is correct then . . . it depends on the adapter, believe it or not. I have one (post to post) where the bolt goes into quite a tight recess, and it needs a special narrow washer under it to fit. Others have far more room . The bolts you've shown appear to have relatively small heads and the washers aren't huge, so it's worth a punt, but do have a look at your adapter and think about the space that a bolt has to go in. Post to IS would generally have fewer issues, unless the bolt is too long.

Any M6 bolt of the correct length (or cut to size) will do (e.g. http://www.screwfix.com/p/socket-cap-sc ... f-50/19472) which you'll get off ebay or may get a "free sample" from B&Q. If it's the caliper bolts then you'll need the Avid cup and cone washers between the caliper and mount but I swapped mine for a stack of stainless flat washers of the correct height as the Avoid tri-align system is bolx.

Chain reaction cycles do sell the avid bolts with the cup washers, under "disk brake spares"
Might need longer bolts with an adaptor tho.
There is adapter kits that come with longer bolts.
Also try: wiggle, Evans cycles.
Most websites have the original avid parts plus some expensive titanium bits

M6 hex socket head botls of the correct will suffice, most Avid callipers (not XX) use CPS - twin conical washers - one pair either side of the calliper - if you need those, pm me - I have loads (I use Avid callieprs without the outer CPS).
