Metric Bolt Kit

January 20, 2010, 5:46 am

I find it handy to have a variety of metric stainless bolts around when assembling bicycles. My kit is running a little light and some other friends wanted similar ones, so we put together a bulk order from McMaster Carr. I thought I’d document the kit that we put together while I had the part numbers handy.

This spreadsheet shows a nice kit which can be split among 4 friends and costs about $30 each at today’s pricing:

$29.22

There are a few changes from my old kit above. I dropped the longer M5 bolts because I don’t use them very often. I added some M6 bolts in a length that I find useful for cantilever brakes and seatpost binders. I also added some button head M5 bolts in the sizes that I use for direct mounting fenders.
