Product Summary:

3mm M5 Metric thread.

Excellent finishing touch to all builds.

Low profile head design provides a clean finishing touch.

Designed and engineered in Melbourne, Australia.

*The head may sit up a little on bespoke low volume frames using bidon/accessory mounts where the mount thread travels all the way up to the top, visible from above.

Limited introductory run in hard wearing, ultra resistant Black Cerakote with a very discreet almost indescernible subtle logo underneath the coating.

Features:

• Low head height.

• Taper Tech thread base for easy hole finding installation.

• Precision CNC machined from 316 Stainless Steel.

• Very subtle almost indiscernible precision laser etched Prototipo Works logo under Cerakote.

• Sold as a pair (x2)

Finish:

• Natural CNC machined finish with ultra resistant Black Cerakote.

• Our strong 316 Stainless Steel cannot be coloured through anodising. The Cerakote Black coating provides an ultra hard, durable, strong coloured cosmetic finish.

• The Cerakote Black coating is focused to primarily coat our 316 Stainless Steel bolt heads with additional colour travelling below the bolt head.

• The Cerakote Black coating may dull over time pending the riding environment and cleaning conditions its subjected to.

Assembly / Installation:

• Prototipo Works strongly recommends the use of a lithium based anti seize assembly lubricant during the installation of our hardware. An anti seize assembly lubricant helps prevent seizing, galling, cold-welding, and the fusing of metal on metal threaded components. Ideal for salty environments, humid environments, in the presence of water, moisture, sweat and ingress.

• Please ensure all mating threads and installation tools are the correct size, are clean, free of damaging burrs and inserted straight. These special lightweight bolts are for light load duties only!

• Maximum Torque 3-5Nm. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

• If unsure if it will fit correctly on your bicycle, please contact us.

Disclaimer:

• Warning! Choking Hazard, Small Parts.

• The coatings purpose is primarily cosmetic. Our Cerakote coated parts now supersede PVD as our hardest wearing coating.

• These special lightweight bolts are for light load duties only!

• Product appearance may vary slightly.

• Use at your own risk!

Special Notes:

• Will fit a majority of mass produced major OEM produced bicycles.

• May not fit correctly on bespoke low volume produced bicycles. This is due to the bidon mounts that are sometimes used - whereby the thread travels all the way to the top, visible from the outside.

  In this scenario the bolt head may sit up a little, may not screw in all the way down and may bottom out early on low volume / bespoke bidon bosses. In which case there may be visibly exposed thread under the head requiring a slim washer to provide adequate clamping forces to installed accessories or a slim washer when installed without accessories.

  To avoid this please see our Low and Ultra Low Bolts or contact us for support.

• Bidon (French) the traditional name for cycling water bottles.
