Greetings Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I wouldn't think getting aluminum bolts for securing a disc rotor is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired Dave Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Agreed!You can get Ti bolts in certain colours though - blue and gold are ones I've seen, but I'm sure there are more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 A certain well known trials shop now do coloured aluminium bolts, but i am not sure whether they would be suitable for use on a front disc, personaly i would not use them, but i am about twice the weight of most the people on this forum......Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I don't think so Dave, the colour comes from plasma-coating which hasn't got anything to do with dye btw just got your emails about the last order... sorry for the mix-up, changed my email address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 yer the colour from the pro bolt titanium bolts. ( the blue and the gold) is from titanium nitrade coating, it gives a very tough and durbale protective layer.they use the same coating on stanchions on the motobike forksas for the aluminium, i would avoid, very dangerous for holding a rotor.pro bolt do titianium bolts as do hope now.ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 why would aluminium be bad for rotor bolts? (at a guess the metals soft, so with enough force the rotor + braking forces would poon them and shear the bolt heads off = nothing holding your disk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 These bolts are probably heat treated to be very hard so the allen key socket lasts. If they're hard, they'll also be very brittle.They'll be ok up to a point and then probably all snap near the head. If you're doing a gap to front wheel onto something narrow you don't want that to happen.Ti bolts aren't that good either, if you have a search you'll find a post Dimitri@Tritoncycles made about them.

oakley Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 dani comas, cesar and the rest of the monty clan use 3 coloured ALIMINIUM bolts in the disc, and 3 steel, alternating, looks cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tarty Bikes have all sorts of colours of bolts. Maybe the size you're looking for is there ...Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) If you really want colour over safety, I think the Pro-Bolt M5x8 bolts will fit. (Tartybikes sell 'em) Edited March 9, 2007 by ManxTrialSpaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
