        @declan 6mm is the most common size I believe.

            @claws The bolt head is usually 8mm but the bolt shaft is usually 6mm, but in some cases they may both be 8mm.

                Yes but what's the TPI as it's not always a standard. I would measure with a thread gauge

                  So much conflicting info lol, I managed to find it but didn’t re use it I measure it with my vernier and it measured to around 6.60 ish mm so I rounded that up to 7mm and ordered those, I did this same method with bolts I ordered with the bike so it should be correct we will see, for one dt specific one it was £6.50 for 4 unspecified ones it was £3.99.
                  Also @NINJA i tried a pitbike one and another off an idle bike and both were the same size and that was too big.

                    7mm did the trick for the front it should be the same size as the rear, so for future reference(m7-1mm pitch thread-27mm long) they fit perfect
