[Closed] Rotor bolts weigh weenying- advice please- Ally/Ti mix of bolts.

nouveau · 2010-12-01T12:26:35Z

You hear about die hard racers running 3 bolts on their disc rotors instead of 6. I kinda want to lighten things up, so how about this.... On each wheel... 3 full strength (but expensive) Ti bolts and 3 light and cheaper (and gross colours) Ally bolts Is there any especial reason to not mix em? I figure that if they're all done up tight, they're doing the job and if anything broke, the Ti ones would hold things together. Whatdaya reckon engineering types? And before anyone pipes up, yes I know that this is a bit of a waste of time, but I for once don't mind.

Seeing how easy it is to snap the heads off Ti rotor bolts, I'd go with three steel bolts over six Ti ones any day.

Not if you use decent bolts/aren't ham fisted!

Combine the brake disc / rotor and the rear sprocket (single speed)
something like a combination of this
