Replacement bolt to hold seat in place.

[ADKhiker56]

Hello, I have a Kona Dew I just bought a few weeks ago. I was using the wrong sized allan wrench to adjust the seat apparently, because the bolt is now stripped. I know I can remove it, but will need to replace the bolt. However, I don't really know what size bolt to order, or where to get it. Can anyone give me some advice as to what type of bolt to order for this bike to replace it?

Thank you so much for your help!

If the bolt which you are referring to tightens the cradle which secures the saddle to the seatpost, then ...

With bolt (or the entire seatpost & saddle assembly) in hand, either go to your LBS or take the bolt to an auto supply store (a possible BUT less likely-or-satisfactory source since the available bolt will probably have a standard Hex head [nothing wrong with THAT, of course, but there may be serious limitations]) ...

There isn't a standard size bolt for seatpost cradles, BTW. Many are, however, 6mm (6x10?) ... the length varies
