I am trying to get confirmation of the the bolt size for bontrager (trek) direct mount caliper - the main bolt. On my edmonda (1.5 year old) the bolt heads are starting to rust and it is aesthetically unpleasant. Thanks

Shimano have two lengths, 9.2 and 7.5mm. You'd have to take them out to know which was used as it's dependent on the frame (or ask Trek/a friendly Trek dealer). I don't know if the brakes come with both, might be worth asking an LBS if they have any spares. Pretty sure all Shimano DM calipers are 4mm hex key, afraid I don't know about other brands.

Thanks for that. I was simply hoping for a quick answer before either I dismantle the caliper or take the my to my LBS (already asked but have no clue as nothing in the shop and yet they are a bontrager/trek re-seller!). It looks like I'll have to do it before ordering new the fasteners
