No-Profile Recessed Bottle Cage Boss Blanking & Sealing Screws (Off-Black, 8-Pack)

These are the ideal way to fill the mounting bosses, not just for an unused bottle mount, but those for packs. My bike came with plastic plugs that did alright, but now and then I lost one. These are not going anywhere, and they look great too. While a bag of bottle mount screws would have done, that would mean several of them protruding in places where they don't look great. Thanks, Treske, for coming up with this solution.If you're a cyclist looking for a nicer way to close up the extra mounting locations on your bike, these are worth the expense.

Almost flush with frame. Came coated with thread lock. Recessed under top tube. Tightened all down to 2NM.Will buy more for other bikes and bosses.Trek Checkpoint SL5

I like them. Wish they had a bronze color.Two pretty small qualms. One was silver while the rest were the correct color of black - which isn't really black. It's dark silver. I'm not so sure the color will last either, but maybe.One other thing, do wish they were a TOUCH longer. In 99% of cases they'll work just fine, but one of my cage bolts doubles as a bolt that holds a multitool within the frame. and this wasn't quite long enough to get that done. This isn't really star deductable.To the person thinking that they will work with bottle cages or accessories, They will most likely not. These are just a plug alternative in my eyes.EDIT: Bought another set, and there is too much locktite on it. the bolts don't want to go into the threads. It's so tight I worry I'll rip off the inner frame bolts/threads that these thread into. I'm sure I can clean them off, I still like these.

I have a Trek Checkpoint SL5. The threaded holes to attach bottles or fenders come with plastic plugs that constantly fall out. This is a permanent solution to the problem.

Love these, not for weight weenie type purposes, but because my frame came with bright silver screws for the bottle cages and to attach a rack with. The black ones work perfectly to blank out all the screw holes that I won't ever use.

YA.. they DO look nice once installed, but that blue stuff that is stated as being a "teflon sealant" to prevent water intrusion is really more a thread locker (Loctite) type material instead. I THINK if you are ONLY using them on the "riveted bosses" like the selling data claims they are best fit for you will be fine... but if you try to put them in any other 5mm recessed bosses... be VERY careful to prevent cross threading as with that blue stuff on there they are a VERY tight fit!!Sadly.. i decided to remove what I had installed and use plastic screws instead :-(

Very poor tolerances. Either the thread pitch doesn't match a standard water bottle screw, or the screw itself is wider than standard. Either way, these screws will strip the threads on your frame.

Easy to install

Very low profile. Lightweight, too

I bought these to replace the existing water bottle bolts on my Cyclocross bike. They fit very nicely and keep the frame clear for shouldering.They sit below the braze-on but shouldn’t turn all the way into the frame.I would definitely recommend.

Prompt, on-time delivery. The screws fit standard bottle cage blanks in frame. Easy to paint with enamel paint to colour match frame. the loctite is easily removed if you don't want it.

Rubber plugs in all the mount points on my gravel bike kept falling out or water leaking in. Screws mount nice and flush, keep the water out and look much better & lighter than mounting bolts.
