Mudguard Mounting Bolts

Præthön said:

Hi, does anybody know a supplier in the UK for stainless mudguard mounts.

LBS? Local engineering supplier? RS Components? Wiggle? St John Street
Cycles? Google?? ;-)

The socket head cap screws are just normal SS fasteners. Sheldon has
been kind enough to give you the sizes too (M6x25 and M6x45). The
washers are available at local bike shops, maybe alloy rather than SS
though.

hth,

am after the bolts for the seat stay bridge and the fork crown. Sheldon
Brown sell them (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/fenders.html) but
unfortunately don't ship them to the UK unless you spend over $100. Thereis
a picture of the parts on the website, numbers BO6025 6 x 25 bolt for seat
stay bridge & BO6045 6 x 45 bolt for fork crown.

There are plenty of specialist fastener suppliers - a quick Google found
http://www.stagonset.co.uk/fasteners where you can buy the nuts, bolts
and washers for £2.43 including delivery. Any bike shop will probably
have the saddle washers, possibly in their junk/scrap bin.

They're just normal stainless bolts. Where to get them depends on where you
are. Cambridge, I'd just pop into Mackays. Other towns, find a bolt seller.
There are some on the interweb - www.namrick.co.uk look suitable for this
sort of thing. Obviously for a on-off my mail order you'll pay more. (I'd
take the opportunity to get some other spares in at the same time :-) )

(or do you need the funny shaped washery bits too?)

cheers,

Thanks guys, I guess I was looking to purchase the items as a complete unit
which seemed a nice easy way. Like you rightly say it is just as easy to
purchase the components and make them up myself. Nice if I could find some
stainless saddle washers though.

I don't recall ever seeing stainless saddle washers, there's really not
much point making them from stainless when alloy works.

You'll probably find that stainless steel bolts of the right size but
not for mudguards are cheaper & easier to find.

Just normal bolts? Try looking in B&Q under 'machine screws'.

The "saddle washers" are generally aluminium, available at any decent
bike shop.

No point in doing these in stainless, the aluminium won't rust and it
is lighter.

This thread gives me the opportunity to ask if the Sheldon nuts are
already available:
<http://sheldonbrown.com/lasvegas/2006/pages/sheldon-fendernut-text.html>
Will you export them to an European bike shop? Sending just two nuts
over the Atlantic seems to be kind of silly.

Wow that caught be my surprise - a reply from Sheldon Brown. Thanks very
much for dropping in and taking the time to post a reply. It is much
appreciated.

Every metallic object you can buy today is an alloy. Steel is an alloy
of iron, SS is also an alloy of iron, "Aluminium" for cycle parts is an
alloy, "Titanium" for cycle parts is an alloy. The pure metal of every
one of these is useless as a structural material, but can be very good
in alloyed form.

Which "alloy" did you mean?

Technically you're correct, of course, but everyone and his dog knows
that in a general non-technical context 'alloy' (or 'ally'😉 refers to an
alloy of aluminium.

You know the answer to that perfectly well. Why waste your time asking?

Because pedantry excels where others can't be arsed :-)

Of course, pedants are not only incredibly tedious but also invariably
correct. To the 'kin nth degree. So from now on I shall endeavour to use
the term "alu" as a generic term for everything aluminium alloy-esque
although no doubt every one else (pedants aside) will get through life
quite happily using the generic term "alloy".

Interestingly, the pedant was quite happy to accept SS as meaning
stainless steel and not Steam Ship or social security or solid state or
any one of 272 common meanings for the acronym SS listed at
http://www.acronymfinder.com good grief where does it end...

If the answer's no, Gilles Berthoud has something that should do the same
job:

http://www.gillesberthoud.fr/accessoires/index.php

The catalogue browsing is a little cumbersome. The simplest way to find them
is to enter the following codes in the search box:

189ECR101/L

189ECR101/L30

189ECR101/C

189ECR101/L22

Any good hardware store, also you will find good stainless steel will
last better than anything
else with a similar price, if you do go alluminium then make sure it is
anodised.
