FAQs

What size are the Wolf Tooth Bottle Cage Bolts?

These bolts are M5 x 15mm, which is the universal standard for bottle cage mounting.

Are these bolts compatible with all bike frames?

Yes, they are designed to fit any frame utilizing standard M5 bottle cage bosses.

How many bolts come in a pack?

Each set includes four individual bolts.

Can these be used for other applications?

While intended for bottle cages, they can be used for any accessory requiring an M5 bolt, provided the load and torque requirements are within the limits of aluminum hardware.

Will the color fade over time?

They feature high-quality anodizing, which is UV and weather resistant, though heavy abrasive cleaning or harsh chemicals should be avoided to preserve the finish.

Is a tool included with the bolts?

No, a hex key is not included.

Troubleshooting

Bolt feels tight before reaching the end of threads

Back the bolt out, clean the frame threads with a tap if necessary, and ensure no debris is stuck in the threads.

Bolt head is stripping during installation

Ensure you are using a high-quality, properly sized metric hex key and apply downward pressure while turning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight construction
  • High-quality, durable 7075-T6 aluminum
  • Precision-machined for perfect fitment
  • Wide array of color options for customization
  • Proudly made in the USA

Cons

  • Aluminum is softer than steel, requiring careful torque application
  • More expensive than standard zinc-plated steel hardware
  • Requires proper hex wrench to prevent stripping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward using a standard hex key. Ensure the frame threads are clean and free of grit before installation to prevent cross-threading. Because these bolts are made of aluminum, it is recommended to apply a small amount of anti-seize or lightweight grease to the threads to prevent oxidation between the bolt and the frame mount. Do not overtighten, as aluminum is more prone to stripping than steel; hand-tightening until the cage is secure is sufficient. Regularly check the bolts during routine bike maintenance to ensure they remain snug.
