Riv's seat post bolt diameter needed

[Roberta]

What is the seat post bolt diameter that Rivendell uses?  I have a MIT A Homer Hilsen and a Platypus.  To my eye, it looks like 6mm.  I cannot find my calipers.

I'm getting Hexlox for saddle and seat post, but do not know which size to order for seat post-- 6mm or 8mm .   https://hexlox.com/pages/protect-integrated-seat-post-clamps

Thanks,

Roberta

More correctly, M6 or M8?

M6 (that takes a 5mm hex).

You got it! 

Ben, who bought a couple 5mm bolts for his seatpost a while back because he thought the hex key size = bolt size.

But the 5mm are useful for so many other things on the bike.  Mounting racks, water bottle cages, fenders.

I hate that. I know the logic behind it, but I'm never going to be ok with the listed tool size being different from the thing the tool turns.
