Product Information
Full details
The Wolf Tooth Bottle Cage Bolts are premium, precision-engineered hardware designed for cyclists who prioritize both aesthetic customization and reliable component security. Machined from durable 7075-T6 aluminum, these M5 x 15mm bolts offer a significant upgrade over standard steel fasteners, providing a lightweight yet robust solution for securing water bottle cages. While these bolts provide an excellent color-matched finish for custom bike builds, users should be mindful of the aluminum material properties and avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping the threads.

FAQs
Are these bolts compatible with all water bottle cages?
Yes, they use the standard M5 thread size, which is the industry standard for virtually all bicycle bottle cages.
What is the length of the bolt?
These bolts have a thread length of 15mm.
Can these be used for other parts of the bike?
They are specifically designed as water bottle cage bolts and should not be used in high-load areas like stems or brake calipers.
How many bolts are included in a pack?
Each purchase includes a set of 4 bolts.
Will the color fade over time?
They feature a high-quality anodized finish that is highly resistant to fading and sun exposure.
What tool do I need for installation?
A standard hex key (Allen key) is required.
Troubleshooting
Bolt feels difficult to thread into the frame boss
Back the bolt out and ensure the frame boss threads are clean and free of rust or grit; do not force it.
Bolt head shows signs of rounding during installation
Ensure your hex key is not worn out and is fully seated into the bolt head before applying pressure.
Bolt loosens over time during rough rides
Consider using a very light application of a blue thread-locking compound, though usually, proper seating is sufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing these bolts is straightforward. Ensure the frame bosses are free of debris or old thread-locking compound before installation. Use a clean, appropriately sized hex key to tighten the bolts. Because aluminum is softer than steel, it is recommended to use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's suggested torque—typically light pressure is sufficient to secure a cage. Avoid using power tools to prevent stripping. Periodically check the tightness of the bolts after long rides on harsh terrain to ensure they remain secure. When cleaning your bike, a simple wipe with a soft cloth will maintain the luster of the anodized finish.
