Anyone know where I can get my mitts on a tapered head M6 x 135 Ti bolt for the back wheel? I’ve called Ti bolts and Tasty nuts but with no luck…

Yes…and before you ask…I fully acknowledge and accept I’m being ridiculous in the weight weeny department…I’m running a Rohloff on a 29er and I’m determined to make this rig as light as possible.

Bit of a late reply, but I think the problem may be that titanium socket cap bolts have got a reputation for rounding, so are best used for lower torque applications like bottle cages.
Axle skewers want tightening up properly, so a good hard steel is much better.
What’s the bike ? I’d be interested to see another lightweight Rohloff 29er.

Lightweight… Rohloff… Oxymoron?

Pfftt have you not swopped out your hub cap bolts for titanium yet? 😀

It’s a Cotis Solaris in medium and thus far I’m luvin it.

One with mud…

And one without…

Basically either carboned or Ti’d almost everything I could. Just the pedals and bolts to do. Hoping for circa 27.5lbs….
