Thread Size(s)

[Phil B.]

Can somebody tell me what the "standard" water bottle holders thread
size/tpi is ? I'd like to purchase a tap to refresh the threading
on my newly painted frame.
TIA

More precisely, 5mm diameter x 0.8mm pitch.

And if all you need to do is chase paint from the threads, take a
bolt, cut a slot two or three threads deep in the tip of it with a
Dremel, and use that.

<pedant> M5 is always taken to be the coarse thread, 5mm x 0.8mm as you
correctly state. The other 5mm thread is called "M5 fine" </pedant>
