fork cap bolt size (Read 77 times)

I’d go measure mine for you, but I have aftermarket caps that are likely a different size.

That would work fine if I actually had one that fits.

Just trying to avoid 2 or more trips to the hardware store.

They were both out of metric crescent wrenches. Coincidentally they were also out of metric screw drivers, blinker fluid, headlight oil and smoke shifters.
