Need to know size and thread pitch of the pad holder nuts.

Thanks!

anyone? m5? m6?

does anybody have these brakes?

help!

(actually, i'm trying to help a pal out who has 'em but isn't too savvy on how they're designed/made, and i don't have ready access to the bike otherwise i'd be answerin' my own questions... )

hard to tell from photos if the bolt is molded into the pad holder itself and a nut screws on top of it outside the caliper, or if the pad holder itself is threaded and a regular m5 bolt screws into it (like most brakes, a la shimano, et al).

They use M5 bolts

you mean bolt screws into pad holder? happen to know how long the bolt is? an m5x5 or maybe 10?

thanks!

+M5 bolts; don't know the lenght but bottle cage bolts will works.

perfect, thank you. those are m5x5 if i recall.

what would you recommend, ti or aluminum?

want to get 'em in black anodized. dunno if i can find black anodized ti.

I would go with titanium. The original bolts supplied by AX are aluminum which I ripped off the heads by simply hand tighten like your friend.

Bottle cage bolts comes in various lengths, make sure you get the correct length cause too long of a boltswill push the pad out of the holder.

yin yang, thanks a ton.

I use some Ti bolts that I painted black .

Hi,

The bolts are marked 4Nm so they must be made of aluminium. Probably 7075 T6 spec. They require a Torx T20 key to tighten too.
