Bleed nipple size?

[declan]

Does anyone know the size of the front bleed nipple mine is lost. TIA

[NINJA]

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

@declan i think its an 8mm bolt. was for me atleast

[NINJA]

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

My rear was 6mm but thread stripped, retapped to 8mm x 30mm

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

[declan]

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
