Re: Replacing mech limit screws with something more colourfu
Limit screws are M4, can't remember the thread pitch for certain but it's the standard one for M4 (0.7 rings a bell). For the limit screws you may need a slightly longer length than the original bolts since the larger head of the allen bolts might mean they won't screw down as far as the standard screws do.
The cable bolts and the front mech clamp bolts are M5 (M6 is brake boss size). Probably worth confirming with the Shimano exploded diagram for your mech though, if it's Shimano.
