Our records put Bike kickstand plates on M5 screws in lengths from 10 to 14 mm.

Where it is used: chainstay kickstand mounting plate bolts.

This entry is marked reported.

For reference, M5 is 5 mm across the threads at 0.8 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. Where the manufacturer publishes a torque value, use a torque driver rather than feel.
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M5 screw measures about 5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
  3. Pitch: 0.8 mm from one thread crest to the next (12.5 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The records span 10–14 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
  6. Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M5 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T25 for Torx, and a 4 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
  7. Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M5 is about 4.0-6.0 N·m into metal threads and 1.5-2.5 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M5

  • Shimano SPD cleat bolts are widely sold as M5 x 8, but Shimano's own dealer manuals don't state the thread — check the old bolt.
  • Truss and stage-light clamps use M8 or M10 bolts depending on tube diameter — larger than anything in this database, so don't substitute an M6.

Questions about Bike kickstand plates screws

What size screw does Bike kickstand plates use?
M5 × 10–14 mm for chainstay kickstand mounting plate bolts.
How long are the screws in Bike kickstand plates?
The records range from 10 to 14 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
What is the thread pitch of an M5 screw?
0.8 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M5 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 4.2 mm and the normal clearance hole is 5.5 mm.
What screwdriver do I need for Bike kickstand plates?
The sources do not name the drive. For M5, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T25; socket heads take a 4 mm hex key.
Can I use an imperial screw instead of M5?
No. Imperial look-alike: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing. Use a true M5 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
