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

country of the Tour de France doesn't stick to his "standard"?

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

It seems Tom doesn't know how to measure or specify a screw size.

Apparently the professor of mechanical engineering doesn't know what a digital caliper is or how to use it.

 :-)  Says the only guy here who thinks those screws are 4mm! Note that the professional bike mechanic disagrees with you!
 

Note also that he asked how big the PCB was after you showed a picture with the caliper showing the reading.
