Michael Hardman Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) Im after some ti bolts, too much money to burn and boring holidays has that effect on me. Does anyone now the dimensions of a select few bolts. In particular the following. 1) The 4 bolt mount bolts for a rear brake with a booster on it. 2) The 4 bolt mounts for a front brake without any booster 3) Stem bolt 4) Bolt for new echo mod stem Think thats all. Edit: Found these, are they of any use http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...7964886063&rd=1 Edited March 30, 2005 by Michael Hardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway me dads off to a merchants market or something like that so cheap cheap cheap stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 hmmm here's and Idea take the bolts you want to be ti and give them to your dad so he can get the right bolts rather than asking people who don't know what bike you've got, what booster you are running, what forks you have, what stem you have and so on. or you could get a bunch of 4 x 9 super stud ti bush ring bolts with a finiader boarder coated in 8 x 12 pink rag doll sit ups.

Michael Hardman Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I said what stem i have as for the bolts there the standard 4 bolt mounts you get with every booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 oh right so how does that stop you from taking the bolts out yourself and measuring them? little tip a lot of the time if the allen key is 4mm then the botl will be M5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I really wouldn't bother with Ti bolts. I had them on my RB Booster, and they round as easily as those crappy Magura bolts. They really are shit, to be fair. I'm a bit of a beast when it comes to rounding the inside of bolt heads, but I know of quite a few other people who raped 'em. Aaaanyway, for most 4-bolt frames you'll be looking at M5x50-60 for most frames, but I'd take out your bolts and measure them if I was you, pretty much. You can buy some Ti bolts and spacers for a 4-bolt booster from Tartybikes or Supercycles, but they're around £15 for 4 bolts and 4 spacers.

Hobnobs Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I personally like the Rb bolts, they dont round off at all easily, and considering i have rounded about 4 axle bolts in a month or two, they are quite good. Ive had them nigh on 9 months and only one is a tad fooked. Loving the weight saving as well (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to run higher psi in my back tyre 'n' everything :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
