pingggg Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've found some pimp blue pro bolts and want to use them in my try all stem but are they really strong enough ? I used them before for my brakes and kept snapping them in the frame Any help would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 User error i'm guessing. I've been using pro-bolts in Ti for years now. Use some grease suited to Ti (most is fine), and don't go mad on the tightening. I used alu bolts in the past and never had any snapping issues either.

Mark W Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 If you use them I'd definitely recommend borrowing a torque wrench from someone so you can get an idea of how tight you're actually doing stuff. Most people (myself included ) tend to over-do most bolts, but if you do that with alloy bolts you're basically asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
