Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Longer cleat bolts

Where do you guys find longer bolts for SPD-SL cleats? Shoes are Shimano. Factory size is M5x13.5mm but nobody local seems to carry that size or longer. Bike shop doesnt have any. Thoughts?

I'd imagine a hardware store could order some for you if they don't have any in stock that are the right length, but my other suggestion is ordering a set of cleat spacers that come with longer bolts-

Shimano SM SH20 SPD SL Cleat Spacer Set | eBay

Something like that.

If your LBS has a fitter, more than likely they'll have them in their fitting kit...if they're not too stingy about it...but yeah, guess I could have read that you already tried that...oh well, make sure they're not too long

Bike stores (larger or higher end ones), hardware stores (one that carries lots of bolts in the stacked boxes where it's mostly self help and not big box stores), or online. You can probably find them now and have them delivered by Thursday if you're in a rush.
