cardenas_26trials Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Why disc bolts have torx heads instead of allen heads? I always round them (maybe it's me or the key I use is bad quality?). Does this happen often to you? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinfor Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think torx is supperior to allen when it comes to durability. Might be down to your tools as you said though, I bought a 10 piece allen set for just over 50 euros and I have never looked back! Dont cheap out on tools!
