Default N00b question: Anyone know the length of my stock wheel bolts? I don't want

to pull a wheel off just to find out (especially since I just pulled one off yesterday.) I'm thinking about picking up a set (or at least a pair) of spacers, so I need to know what bolts to order. TIA

Default You dont have to pull off the entire wheel, just one of the bolts...

Other than that, I have no useful information for you. (as usual)

eh... But then I have to pull the rest out and re-torque them. I'd prefer to avoid that.

Default Mine are 30mm. I have a set of 15mm spacers on the front with 45mm bolts and

a set of 10mm spacers at the back with 40mm bolts.
