Some digging turned up\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/heyco.com\/Hole_Plugs\/product.cfm?product=Dome-Plugs&amp;section=Hole_Plugs\">Heyco Dome Plugs<\/a> Part No. 2590 (<a href=\"http:\/\/heyco.com\/Hole_Plugs\/pdf\/6-01.pdf\">PDF<\/a>) and they are a perfect fit. Ordered from Mouser (Part # <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouser.com\/access\/?pn=836-2590\">836-2950<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/bike_stuff\/IMG_7462.jpg.html\">photo<\/a>) they cost $0.13\/ea ($0.09\/ea in 100 piece quantities) and snap snugly into mount holes. Removing them may be a bit of a pain, but a pick or serrated needle nose pliers will likely pull them right out.<\/p>\n<p>By replacing 13 of the cap head stainless steel screws on my fatbike I cut 45g off of the bike&#8217;s mass. (The screws were 46g, and 15 of the dome plugs registered as 1g on my scale.)<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m not particularly concerned about such a small savings on the fatbike, I&#8217;m glad to find a cost effective item which can be used to fill accessory mount holes and prevent extra snow and water and such from getting in. I think they also look a bit nicer than simply leaving the holes empty, and don&#8217;t have the add-lots-of-shiny-stuff look (<a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/acquired_stuff\/salsa_mukluk_2\/IMG_6611.jpg.html\">photo<\/a>) that filling the holes with screws gives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with replacing the rim strips and tubes on my fatbike to save weight I decided to see if I could find a suitable hole&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/07\/14\/heyco-2590-for-bicycle-accessory-holes\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Heyco 2590 for Bicycle Accessory Holes<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acquired-things","category-cycling","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17446"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17449,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17446\/revisions\/17449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
