Funny thing is that my new Time ULTeam uses 3 mm with a wide head. Perhaps Flunky can suggest why the country of the Tour de France doesn't stick to his "standard"?

My $5 says it's not a 3mm screw.
Remove that screw and measure it.

More probably a ULS or a 7991 screw, m5x0.8 with a 3mm hex 
broach on the head.
