Post by: charlste on October 19, 2012, 18:43:37 PM

Does anybody know if the removable nuts and bolts on a bike are the same as the uk.I want to bring some accessories over.I also want to bring some new pedals over which are 9/16 over here.Are they the same sizes in turkey.

chances are they are the same - as near all mechanical fastners are now metric.

We have Turkish bikes (Salcano) with Shimano equipment, 3 yrs old - everything appears to be metric.
