FAQs
Are these bolts compatible with carbon fiber frames?
Yes, they are compatible, but ensure you do not over-torque the bolts to avoid damaging the frame's threaded inserts.
What tool size is required to install these bolts?
These bolts typically use a standard 4mm hex (Allen) key for installation.
How many bolts come in the package?
These are typically sold as individual units, so ensure you purchase the correct quantity for your specific bottle cage requirements.
Can I use these for other parts of my bike?
These are specifically designed for bottle cages. While the M5 size is common, they may not be suitable for high-stress components like stems or seat clamps.
Do I need to use threadlocker?
It is not strictly required, but a small amount of medium-strength (blue) threadlocker is optional if you find them vibrating loose over rough terrain.
Troubleshooting
Bolt feels tight before reaching the cage base
Check the frame boss for debris or damage; do not force the bolt as this can strip the frame threads.
Bolt rattles loose during a ride
Ensure the bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification and consider a small drop of blue threadlocker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing your Wolf Tooth Bottle Cage Bolts is straightforward, but care should be taken to maintain the finish.
- Preparation: Clean the frame threads of any old grease or debris before installation.
- Installation: Use a standard 4mm hex key to thread the bolts into your frame's bottle cage bosses. Start by threading them by hand to prevent cross-threading.
- Torquing: Tighten until snug. It is recommended to use a small amount of anti-seize or lightweight grease on the threads if you live in a humid or coastal environment to prevent galvanic corrosion.
- Compatibility: These are standard M5x15mm bolts. They are compatible with almost all mountain, road, and gravel frames that feature threaded bottle cage mounts. Always verify that your cage does not require a longer bolt for specific mount spacers.
