I LOVE AMERICA AND CAPITALISM DESPITE BEING POOR AS FUCK. I WILL NEVER RETIRE BUT HERE'S ANOTHER 200$ FOR UKRAINE, SLAVA
I picked up some Bontrager fenders fit for my tire size yesterday, but didn't expect the mounting screws/bolts/whatever would be too small for my 2011 Specialized Sirrus Sport, at least at the front fork bridge. They're M5, so I guess I need to get hold of an M6 and see if that fits? Neither Bontrager nor the bike manual specify... there's a bit of room in the Bontrager attachment point, but I've no idea if enough for the larger screw. The Bontrager instructions do have an "or" with an alternate backer that might make the M5s work, but that doesn't come with the set or appear to exist online.

Am I likely to be able to pick some up at my local hardware store or bike shop? Or am I stuck buying online? I saw McMaster recommended upthread, but I'd ideally avoid buying in bulk.

Or am I better off returning them?
