Custom Fasteners & Model-Specific Hardware for Bicycle OEMs

Model-specific hardware is a defined group of parts linked to a bicycle model or platform configuration. The approved drawings and BOM identify the parts, revisions, materials and quantities required for that configuration. Similar appearance does not establish interchangeability, and a hardware set includes only the items agreed for the project.

Yes. We manufacture individual drawing-defined fasteners and precision turned components, and we supply model-specific hardware sets within an agreed BOM scope. A project can include only selected part numbers. For a multi-part order, identify the mating components, quantity per bike and required delivery grouping so each item is included clearly in the quotation.

Send the drawings or BOM you currently have, together with the project stage and required quantities. Include material, finish and important acceptance requirements where available. For a hardware set, identify quantities per bike and any mating-part information. We can clarify missing inputs before a formal quotation or production approval is completed.

No. An initial enquiry can start with draft drawings, sample information or a preliminary BOM. Clearly identify the document status so discussion does not imply production approval. Before manufacture is released, the required drawing revisions, material and finish specifications, quantities and agreed acceptance requirements need to be confirmed through the project approval process.

Yes. The project can involve the brand, frame manufacturer or assembly factory. Please identify who approves the design, who places the order and which site receives the parts. Manufacturing and commercial scope should follow those agreed responsibilities. A factory enquiry does not automatically authorise changes to the brand’s drawing or nominated components.

Identify each configuration and its applicable BOM revision, then link every item to the correct part drawing. Parts may be shared across configurations only where the approved documentation allows it. A revision change should define which models or production batches it affects, rather than automatically treating every previous part as interchangeable with the new version.

Our capabilities include CNC turning, turn-mill machining, cold heading, thread rolling and tooling development. The route is selected for the particular geometry, material and quantity; a part does not necessarily require every process. Specified finishing, heat treatment and testing are coordinated according to the agreed project scope and actual manufacturing responsibilities.

Yes. Different components can have different drawing-defined materials and finishes. Record those requirements for each part rather than assigning a single material to the complete set. The specification should also identify relevant finished dimensions, mating surfaces and thread requirements, so a surface treatment or material change is not treated as an automatic substitute.

Yes. Prototype quantities and repeat production can be discussed for the project. State the quantity needed for each stage and whether samples require the same finish and packaging as production parts. Pricing, timing and any tooling requirements depend on the agreed scope. Later orders need a confirmed drawing and BOM revision, not only the previous kit name.

Only when those items have been specifically accepted within the supply scope. A bearing or seal shown in an assembly drawing may be a mating reference rather than a quoted item. The BOM should distinguish manufactured parts, purchased components requiring sourcing confirmation and customer-supplied items. This keeps responsibilities and the quoted contents clear.

Model-level or subassembly grouping can be specified as part of the order. Define the kit contents, quantities, applicable revisions, label information and packaging requirements. Parts may instead be supplied by part number where that better suits the customer’s assembly process. A model-specific supply agreement does not automatically mean individual retail bags or a particular packaging format.

The documentation package is agreed for the order and may include material records, dimensional inspection information, specified finish or test evidence, and batch identification. The ISO 9001 certificate is available for supplier assessment within its stated scope. Project documents define the actual part acceptance requirements; certification alone is not proof of compatibility or vehicle-level performance.
