Replacement Cleat Bolts (Crank Brothers)

[kppolich]

Does anyone have a better replacement for some off road cleats than the stock crank brothers shown below?

M5 Threads
10mm length
Countersunk
0.8mm thread pitch

Thinking maybe Torx T25 instead of a 4mm hed key might do the trick.

Dealt with this yesterday...

I've gone with phillips or flat head in that scenario. Torx would probably be fine as well.

Got an Ace Hardware nearby?

I'm giving these a try

I have had to take an awl more than once to clean the allen heads out , I would not go torx. Considering how much crap gets stuck in an allen head, adding more places for things to get filled in does not sound like a good idea to me.

I will be filling the torx head with silicone caulk before the season starts should keep it clean and is also easier to remove than dirt. I've also heard of candle wax to do the same thing.

Overall, the goal is to have a better fastener Torx>Hex to reduce the chance of stripping as seen above.

The smell of sweet success.
