Remember when I said that my bike had 4 mm screws for the water bottle
mount? Flunky told you all that I was lying because 5 mm was the
standard for all water bottle mounts. Funny thing is that my new Time
ULTeam uses 3 mm with a wide head. Perhaps Flunky can suggest why the
country of the Tour de France doesn't stick to his "standard"?

Remove that screw and measure it.

More probably a ULS or a 7991 screw, m5x0.8 with a 3mm hex broach on the

Agreed, although I'd bet more than $5.

Indeed it?s the growing list of stuff he?s convinced himself that the world

    Roger, do you have a caliper and know how to use it? If not exactly who is convinced the world is flat? On my facebook page is a sampling og the bikes I've built from bare frames. How many have you? This is a tech group and one wonders why you're here. You give no advice and apparently you're too smart to need any.
 Cattrike is having trouble with his front derailleur. He says that he knows how to install a fron derailleur. But he is having trouble what would you suggest to him?

No matter how many frames you have, the bottle mounts are all m5x0.8.
