BB axle bolt size
Is a square taper bb axle bolt thread 8 mm standard on ShImano un52 or like?
Re: BB axle bolt size
It looks like M8 metric fine x 15mm long (1mm pitch thread) on this bolt from a UN55, with a 14mm across flats bolt head c/w built in washer (19.5mm diameter).
M8 coarse hex bolt in picture is 1.25 mm pitch, 13mm across flats. Pictures over 10mm to count the threads

Yes, it is.
I made the mistake of buying coarse ones first when I was looking for bolts to hold a BB tool on.

The bolt head is 14mm across flats, not 15mm, I've edited my initial post.
