Birre Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 New ti bolts and ti washers for my king hub: Saved 22 grams and cost about 20 quid for the whole set up on tastynuts.

Alex Dark Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Why not? Exactly... Nice! Quite a large weight saving too Shame they aren't allen bolts though.

Birre Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice! Quite a large weight saving too Shame they aren't allen bolts though. i could have gone with allen since the threads are now m10x1.25 but m10 allen heads are quite big and not this pimp either:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Canham Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 theres not really much point to this. Also people are not really going go round looking at all the bolts are they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Ah makes sense now, BMX rear hub, axle inserts sorted like it! Wish the standard HD axles were like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birre Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 theres not really much point to this. Also people are not really going go round looking at all the bolts are they. So whats the point of you riding trials at al then? riding on the pevement is much less effort and trouble.. Changed the bolts for function, design, wheight and beacuse i can. I don´t really care if people see these or not, but i have a spare set of bolts on my desktop so i can enjoy the fine piece of work more often than i ride my bike...

craigjames Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Why shouldn't he change the bolts to some lighter, pimp but equally as functional Ti bolts? Some people like to tinker, I do that's for sure. I know if I could get them made for a standard HD axle but in allen bolt head then I would.
