FAQs

What is the specific function of the Shimano BR-RS505 Calliper Fixing Bolt C?

This bolt is designed to securely attach a brake caliper to a bicycle frame, specifically where the frame has a 25 mm mounting surface.

What does the 'C' in the product name signify?

The 'C' designation typically refers to a specific variant or part number within Shimano's product line, often indicating a particular length or design feature for a specific application.

Can I use this bolt on any bicycle frame?

No, this bolt is specifically designed for frames with a 25 mm caliper mounting width. Always check your frame's specifications before purchasing.

What is the length of the bolt?

The bolt has a length of 38 mm.

Is this bolt compatible with all Shimano brake calipers?

While it is part of the BR-RS505 series, it is primarily designed for calipers intended for a 25 mm frame mount. Always confirm compatibility with your specific caliper model.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, a standard hex wrench (Allen key) of the appropriate size is required for installation.

How do I ensure the bolt is tightened correctly?

Tighten the bolt until it is snug and the caliper is held firmly in place. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads or damage components. Consulting a torque wrench if available is recommended for precise tightening.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not thread into the frame.

Verify that the frame has the correct 25 mm mounting specification and that the bolt is not cross-threaded. Ensure the frame's thread is clean and undamaged.

Brake caliper feels loose after installation.

Check that the bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Ensure the bolt is the correct length and type for your caliper and frame.

Difficulty in aligning caliper with rotor.

Ensure the bolt is fully seated and tightened, allowing for minor adjustments by slightly loosening the bolt, aligning the caliper, and re-tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your bicycle frame has a 25 mm caliper mounting point. Align the brake caliper with the frame's mounting holes. Insert the 38 mm bolt through the caliper and into the frame.
