Anyone got a good link, prefare in the UK.
Want to up grade a few bolts 8)
www.tibolts.co.uk
Do not use Tibolts.co.uk, whatever you do the quality of the bolts is appalling.
I got some from here for a motorcycle - they should have smaller sizes though
10% of at probolt until end of August (tasty nuts .co.uk)
I'll go get the code..,
plus one for tastynuts.co.uk - seem like pretty nice qaulity too. 🙂
It's .com and the discount would appear to be for existing customers. Good quality ti used some of their bolts on my motorbike brake calipers - looked very nice. The Al stuff is very nice for non stress areas, don't go to tarty!!!
Another vote for "TastyNuts" 😉
Whats the idea of swapping yer bolts for ti? Apart from bragging rights "thats ti bolts there that is". Not a dig - just curious.
i use good quality i'll repeat that GOOD quality alumium bolts in a lot of places
never had any ti bolts,on my bikes,,
but have ran a lot when i worked in F1 and world superbike ,,,there is some crap stuff out there worse than std steel
in my opinion these are the best
http://www.poggipolini.it/html/pgid14_EN.html i went to the factory once,,
RepacK, two reasons: weight saving, and rust prevention. If you take all the steel bolts off a bike and weigh them, then weigh the equivalent Ti bolts, there's a significant difference, plus the bolts supplied on most bikes, regardless of cost, go rusty within days if it's wet. You spend a couple of thousand pounds on a bike, and rusting bolts look cr4p, quite frankly. I've replaced most of mine with stainless, but I'd really like to have all the bolts on my bikes replaced with Torx Ti ones.
Again for Pro bolt, their alu and ti and both very good.
Second not using Tibolts.co.uk ordered some bolts and they arrived with cracks in the heads 😯
Fair enough Count (that was what I thought but Ive never actaully come across someone who had done it) - does it work out as a cost effective way of reducing weight?
In a word, no. it's an expensive way to loose weight off the machine but an effective one.
Probolt/tastynuts.
Always get good service and good quality bolts.
As above, tastynuts good, tibolts shite.
Would anyone recommend NOT using aluminium bolts in certain applications? I'm thinking as rear shock mounting hardware, or for mounting brake calipers?
I'm assuming aluminium is not as strong as stainless or Ti and therefore not recommended for these kinds of applications?
