"Vintage" frame small parts sourcing - need Campy (or anything) dropout screws
Need to get me some threaded dropout screws for an older (1980's) Italian frame.
Any suggestions on thread size & pitch would be appreciated, so that I might try an alternative source (such as an RC car parts supplier). |

I get stainless ones from the local hardware store. BUT, they are slightly shorter by 5mm to 10mm. Just note that. If you want REAL Campy ones, Ebay. I can get them thru a distributor but they are just as expensive as ebay. And they will still rust out. Hence the stainless replacement idea.

"Campy uses M3*0.5"
https://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-m...nt-screws.html Don't know if that is accurate...

I bought a little bag of stainless at McMaster-Carr a few years ago. They are a standard thread and pitch.

pretty sure you can get the Surly ones from your lbs
They seem to go for between $8, with $12 seemingly the norm on ebay. I should list some up and see if I can get $56 for a set like someone did recently. And it might finally be time to sell some 1010 dropouts |

Half the time an older bike store will just have them in stock in the small parts bins. I'd call around locally.

You can also order them via a link on Dave Moultons blog - packaged with springs, caps, etc.

Except they are only 25mm long. And that nut takes up more than the knurled one. The original length screw is 40mm. Most hardware stores have stainless phillips screws in 30 and 35mm.

Well that's good news since I ordered a pair...!!!
Hopefully they work. Oldpotatoe I'll reach out if these thingamajigs don't work, thank you for the heads up. Speaking of little parts, you got any NOS Campy seat post binder bolts sitting around? If so I'm all ears, here or via PM. Last edited by 54ny77; 11-16-2017 at 06:32 AM. |
