Visiontech replacement bolts Can't Post
Howdy all. After a busy first full race season in the Northeast complete with TONS of rain during both training rides and races (along with tough trainer sessions) I noticed some of the bolts on my Visiontech cockpit are showing signs of rust.
Googling for said parts really yields nothing. Does anyone know of shops that might sell JUST the replacement bolts? I swear I thought I kept everything nice and clean.

cheers
S.

Just go and see your nearest industrial/engineering supply place.
I bought 10 bolts for $2 the other day.
Ask for counter-sunk socket head cap screws
IIRC, M5 x 25 for the elbow pads if running 12.5mm riser.

Edit: Take one with you just to be sure :)

Make sure you get the proper replacement bolts. The originals that came with my VT bars became corroded also, when I replaced them with the same length, there were only a few threads holding them on. I ended up at Bikesport fishing through a box of random box of bolts until I found some that would work (with Sarah's help).
