Hi, I'm trying to figure out what size allen bolts are used on my Voodoo Bizango 2013. They attach the adjustable bolted dropouts.

I noticed during the assembly they've been slightly rounded, so would like to know the size to replace them in the future.

Here is the pic for clarification:

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    What size Allen key fits in them, and how long are they?

    Or to put it another way, you can find out easily yourself!

  • Ah I see, good to know. At least it'll be easy to find out. I was hoping to avoid taking them out to check as they're already worn/rounded off.

    I believe they use set sizes like M6 or M8 bolts.

    Your bike looks brand new.
    If it's from Halfords take it back and tell the spanner monkeys to replace the bolts, preferably using the correct size allen key.

    Otherwise, and for peace of mind, replace them yourself before they get cruddy and possibly bind.

    If they are poor quality then they may corrode over time and be harder to remove, plus if there is a problem you still gave the warranty.
