LTS Biker Senior Retro Guru Feedback View May 7, 2007 #1 I need some brake studs for a frame, but all the recent brakestuds don't fit. The size is M8, but the tread is wider than the modern ones. It's for a Cannondale P-bone fork and a 1996 Trek 8000 frame. Which studs do I need?

B3 Senior Retro Guru May 9, 2007 #4 I think a lot depneds on where the frame builder is buying supplies. There is no swap over date as stuff is still produced today with imperial threads.
