FAQs

Are these bolts compatible with all bikes?

These bolts are compatible with any bike frame featuring standard M5 water bottle cage braze-ons.

Can I use these bolts for my rear rack?

No. These bolts are specifically designed for bottle cages and should not be used for structural applications like racks or fenders.

What is the maximum torque for these bolts?

The maximum recommended torque is 4 N-m.

Do I need to apply grease during installation?

Yes, applying a small amount of grease to the threads before installation is recommended to prevent seizing.

How many bolts come in a pack?

Each pack includes four bolts, which is enough for two bottle cages.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to thread into the frame

Clean the braze-on threads with a brush and ensure you have applied a small amount of grease before trying again.

Bolt head is starting to strip

Ensure you are using the correct size hex wrench and stop tightening immediately; verify you have not exceeded the 4 N-m torque limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing your Wolf Tooth Bottle Cage Bolts is a straightforward process. First, ensure your frame's threaded inserts are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific grease to the threads of each bolt to prevent seizing and ensure smooth threading into your frame. Use a standard Allen key to tighten the bolts, but do not exceed the recommended maximum torque of 4 N-m. Exceeding this limit may strip the threads or damage the bolt head. If you are swapping out colors, check the condition of your frame's threads before installation to ensure a smooth, cross-thread-free start.
