The Wolf Tooth Bottle Cage Bolts in Brown are designed for cyclists looking to add a subtle, custom aesthetic touch to their bike builds while ensuring their water bottle cages remain securely attached. These M5x15mm fasteners are ideal for any standard bike frame featuring threaded bottle cage braze-ons. While these bolts provide an excellent cosmetic upgrade, it is important to remember that they are intended solely for bottle cage attachment and must not be used for structural components on the bicycle.

No. These bolts are specifically designed for water bottle cages only and are not rated for structural loads such as those found on stems or seat posts.
The package includes four M5x15mm bolts.
While thread locker is not required, a light coat of grease is recommended to prevent seizing.
Yes, they are compatible with any frame that uses standard M5 water bottle cage braze-ons, including carbon, steel, aluminum, and titanium.
You should not exceed 4 N-m of torque.
Back the bolt out, clean the threads on the frame with a thread tap if necessary, and ensure no grit is present before trying again with fresh grease.
Ensure you are using a high-quality, properly sized hex key and verify you are not exceeding the 4 N-m torque limit.
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail to prevent stripping or seizing. Before installation, clean the frame braze-ons of any old debris or gunk. Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific grease to the threads of each bolt; this prevents galvanic corrosion and ensures the bolt can be easily removed in the future.
Use a standard hex key to tighten the bolts. You must not exceed the maximum torque limit of 4 N-m. Over-tightening can strip the bolt head or the threads on your frame's braze-ons, so using a torque wrench is highly recommended. Always verify the bolts are secure after the first few rides on rough terrain.
