[Closed] Titanium bolts

Place on ebay, I think they're just called ti bolts?? I personally wouldnt put any near pivots.

I see no problem replacing them if you check the torsional properties are the same or better than what you're replacing.
Ti bolts is Superstar components.
http://www.tastynuts.com/ is where I get mine from.

I ordered some Ti Bolts from Superstar, the first ones I received were OK (caliper bolts), I then ordered some disc bolts and a Hope Mini lever kit, the quality was appalling, sent the lot back and got a refund.

Should be OK, as long as they're from a decent source.

Superstar ones are poor IMO - i've had some with cracked heads, unpolished so all the machine grooves are still present etc.

suspension pivot bolts shouldn't be under heavy load if it's a decent frame design so it should be fine for most bikes. I wouldn't be willing to pay but if i was given them i'd have no problem using them.

slight caveat to that. I wouldn't use ti bolts for the shock as they're directly loaded.

TI Bolts ones I've used for my stem are soft as sh*t. They just round off on the allen keys.

Yeah - mine did too. Never had it happen from other suppliers. Really poor show all round. And the disc brake mounts were too long - well they were for all the frames I tried them on. Hey ho. Nothing ventured etc.

TJ & GTTH- Thanks I was going to order some bolts from Ti Bolts but will use one of the other companies.

PB- Replied to your mail

Some frames use alloy bolts - so i think its safe to say Ti is fine...

I was gonna say, most frames use alu bolts if they're a big size, Spesh and Trek definitely do.

It'll be fine, there's nowhere on a bike I wouldn't use ti bolts.

I prefer to use stainless steel bolts
I'd have no technical worries with Ti but I only want corrosion resistance & aren't bothered about a couple of grams in weight
