- What does this bolt actually hold?
- It secures a Shimano Dura-Ace BR-R9170 flat-mount disc brake caliper to the frame or fork mount. It is the caliper fixing bolt, not a hose fitting or pad pin.
- Will it fit other Shimano calipers?
- It is specified for the BR-R9170 caliper. Thread, length and head are matched to that model, so do not assume it fits other Shimano or third-party calipers.
- How many bolts come with it?
- One fixing bolt. A caliper mount usually takes two bolts, so check how many you need before ordering.
- Do I need a torque wrench?
- Yes. Caliper mounting bolts have a specified torque, and guessing risks stripping the mount or leaving the caliper loose. Follow Shimano's figure for your frame.
- Is it worth buying the genuine bolt?
- For a safety-critical mount, yes. A hardware-store bolt may have the wrong length, thread or strength grade, and a loose caliper is a real hazard.
