    It won't be as low profile as this with a socket sleeve nut.

    Is fastening the cages with a nut really that ugly/annoying?

    I was going to sell them with two of these:

  • I think, when I saw it on Instagram, I thought it was just different, not ugly. When you're used to the usual cap head bolt, seeing a nut there instead feels wrong, somehow?
    As you say, if someone wants an ultra low profile solution then I'm sure they'll accept the tiny aesthetic difference.
    When in animation school at uni I frequently tapped washers to make armature parts for stop-motion. Even when tightening pretty carefully these stripped regularly, so I feel like bike mechs/owners would 100% do so.

  • True, and true.

    I guess its not ugly if bolt ends nicely chamfered, and the nuts are posh enough?

    Once upon a time had a stash of these beautiful low profile stainless m5 nuts that had their shoulders chamfered off, so were very low stack, and sort of domed. Really helpful as no idea what to even google for

  • Bit like this, but deeper and more chamfer

  • Have you considered dome nuts?
