Greetings,
I am develoing a bike accessory and have a technical question regarding the 5mm threaded holes and bolts located throughout the frame.
The frame I am working with is 7005 aluminum. I do not know if this is the same material used for the reinforced areas around the threaded holes. The factory 5mm bolts are virtually weightless and I believe they will fail under load or if too much torque is applied tightening.
Questions:
1) What is the best GRADE of bolt I can use without stripping the threaded holes?
2) What is the maximum inch-pound torque for these bolts and holes on a 7005 aluminum frame?
Thanks
