Installation:
-
Prototipo Works strongly recommends the use of a lithium based anti seize assembly lubricant during the installation of our hardware. An anti seize assembly lubricant helps prevent seizing, galling, cold-welding, and the fusing of metal on metal threaded components. Ideal for salty environments, humid environments, in the presence of water, moisture, sweat and ingress.
-
Please ensure all mating threads and installation tools are the correct size, are clean, free of damaging burrs and inserted straight.
-
Maximum Torque 3-5Nm. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Special Notes
- Will fit a majority of mass produced major OEM produced bicycles.
- May not fit correctly on bespoke low volume produced bicycles. This is due to the bidon mounts that are sometimes used - whereby the thread travels all the way to the top, visible from the outside.
- In this scenario the bolt head may sit up a little, may not screw in all the way down and may bottom out early on low volume / bespoke bidon bosses. In which case there may be visibly exposed thread under the head requiring a slim washer to provide adequate clamping forces to installed accessories or a slim washer when installed without accessories.
- To avoid this please see our Low and Ultra Low Bolts or contact us for support
- Bidon (French) the traditional name for cycling water bottles.
