SPD Cleat Bolts

[Reynard]

Can anyone point me to a good supplier of cleat bolts?

I seem to have developed an alarming habit of losing them of late and wouldn't mind a few spares...

Ebay has loads of people selling them. Here's just one example....

I must admit, I've lost a few myself lately.

Yup, ebay sells bolts you can buy almost anywhere, but the real thing has a shoulder underneath the countersink head. So I took a picture of the spare set I received with the pedals I brought out here. Dunno if the shoulder makes much difference.

I must be completely ham fisted as I have yet to lose a cleat bolt.

I've managed to lose three since mid January.

My road shoes now only have one bolt to keep the cleats on, so that my MTB shoes can be used for riding. Fortunately it's much too mucky out here in this neck of the woods to want to do the cyclist's waddle...

4 x used cleat bolts on their way now

Maybe tighten them up a bit more this time? I never had one come out and always fit them with a good dollop of grease so they don't rust in.

put a drop of blue threadlock on them

Thanks @I like Skol You're a star.

Cyclechat really does have some truly fabby people.

Note to self: grease or threadlock might well be a good idea. I'm somehow thinking the latter rather than the former.

If they rust in you can’t lose ‘em
