Description:
A new addition! The same under flush bolt design as our original under flush, but with the following changes:
- A smaller head diameter of 5.0mm to increase compatibility across more frames.
- A shorter head height of 1.5mm to nestle into a select number of bidon mounts in circulation.
This under flush bolt utilises a 2.5mm Hex.

Our strong 316 Stainless Steel cannot be coloured through anodising. The Stealth Black Oxide coating’s primary purpose is not to provide additional abrasion resistance like our PVD coated parts but provide a unique black finish perfectly fitting to any considered bicycle build. |
|
|
Our Stealth Black Oxide coating, uniformly coats our 316 Stainless Steel parts all over creating a light protective and dull cosmetic black appearance. |
|
|
The Stealth Black Oxide coating may dull and grey over time pending the riding environment and cleaning conditions its subjected to. |
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.
-
Bidon cage boss hole opening diameter must be at least 5.1mm or greater (our under flush bolt is 5mm in diameter) with at least a 3mm unthreaded depth before the thread begins into the frame.
-
Where appropriate, we also offer a suitable version for a 5.6mm opening hole diameter or greater (our alternate under flush bolt is 5.5mm in diameter).
- If unsure if it will fit correctly on you bicycle, please contact us.
