For some reason, Specialized decided to use 4mm bolts for the BB/bridge fender mounts on the Roubaix. Very odd. I didn't have any 4mm bolts lying around.

That does seem like an odd decision. M5x0.8 has been so normal for so

It's like the bicycle industry employs specialists whose job it is to
destroy standardization.

Or maybe their procurement department got a really, really, great deal
on 4mm bolts -)

What's the old theory? ""Never attribute to malice that which is
adequately explained by stupidity"?
