Bolts!

Where do you get yours? I'm not talking about fancy colours or anything, just the bog standard bolts that your bike came with. I've sheared a few recently and could do with replacing them, but I'd also like a stash for next time. So where do you go? Any good cheap online stores or is it Screwfix?

iirc, I got most of my stainless replacements from BanditRob on fleabay
...and safety critical stuff (like stainless brake disk bolts) from ProBolt

I've just ordered a bunch that I lost from https://www.nutsboltsandthings.co.uk/

Quite cheap. Postage gets you at about £3-4. Not arrived yet though (ordered on the 7th).

There was a conversation on another forum about how stainless bolts shouldn't be used on your calipers as they can't stand up to the shearing force that regular steel does. Never looked into it so don't know if theres any truth in it.

I meant to ask a question like this a few weeks ago as I needed a pinch bolt and a couple of others which I couldn't seem to find.

I've noticed a couple of people have said they buy them from ebay.

Has anyone bought this kind of thing?

As that's the set I was considering, but thought they seemed a bit cheap so didn't bother

For Hex head bolts, I've also been using eBay. Sellers generally offer a huge range, and you can chose length, size (eg M6) and then the type of head. Oh, and the quantity. Seem quite cheap, and cheap or free postage.
I've not had any issues with any yet, although I haven't really done much testing. Exhaust bolts that sheared have been replaced with these bolts, and I've done a couple of hundred miles so far. They seem fine, but the test will be when they next need to be changed.
I also replaced the screws in the master cylinder reservoir, following some other advice on here. Karma

same seller,

Hope that helps
