Original handlebar clamp bolts are Grade 8; readily available and cheap.
Grade 5 may be strong enough but for pennies difference I suggest an 8.


How does one get these "readily available" Grade 8 guys? Deda doesn't
seem to have much of a web presence outside of Italy. Is this a generic
item stocked by a good LBS?

There are a great number of mail order companies who can supply the
bolts you need. The taper head is a matter of "what looks pretty" and
no not strength. I'm not necessarily recommending them but peruse the
McMaster-Carr web site for available bolts.

Or you could probably contact Andrew Muzi, our resident bicycle parts
specialist :-)
