What is the correct replacement bolt length for 98A cleats?
I need to buy some new cleat mounting bolts to replace lost and rusted ones, but I'm not entirely sure what size to order. All of our pedals (Nashbar and/or Performance branded) use the Wellgo 98A cleats, and I can't find any specs indicating the standard bolt length for them. Using standard bolt measurement practices, the length for a countersunk bolt should include the head, but when I measure the ones I have on hand, that dimension is 13mm, and the closest bolts I can find are 13.5 mm. (The measurement of the threaded portion only is 8mm.)
Does anyone know which length bolts I should be ordering for these cleats?
Thanks,
JP

You need M5x0.8 mm x 8 mm countersunk bolts. They take the same bolts as Shimano SPD cleats so any bike dealer should have lots of spares.
