I am trying to obtain more details about riser limb bolts regarding an industry standard of size of which after much searching I am unable to find.
I occasionally have the situation of tight fitting limbs which is often cured by opening up the limb dovetail by a little sanding. However, the problem is not always due to the limb tolerance. I have discovered lately that the problem is due to the thickness of the limb bolt itself. After a recent purchase I found one of the limbs to be excessively tight and after checking I found that one of the limb bolts was 0.2mm thicker than the other. Now you may say that 0.2mm is not much but in manufacturing terms this is a lot. The retailer is going to replace this bolt by the way.
After checking quite a few limb bolts I have found that most are made with a diameter of 9.4mm and I would appreciate some feedback on this topic.
I did a search to find out about the industry standard on this without any success. I have dug out various patents on ILF fittings and while they all give highly detailed descriptions and drawings no specific sizes are given.
So, does anyone have an answer to this.
