WH- you could just soak the current ones overnight in a small jar of:

 

a) easy-off bang

b) brasso

c) coca-cola

 

but whatever you do - don't use vanish

Thanks FCS!  Now I just need to take that bolt out again and measure it after walking around with it all day yesterday.

Titanium it is then  I can't wait!

hmmm Titanium bolts....

 

Not sure they're such a great idea.

 

I had a 3T ZEPP XL stem that had ti bolts and bars always creaked.  I replaced the Toi bolts with High tensile steel (12.8) and the creaking stopped. I think the Ti bolts were just too elastic for the application.

 

Just this morning I snapped a supposedly high tensile aluminium M6 bolt that holds my Lefty the Si XC3 Stem. It's been replaced with a 12.8 HT Steel bolt and the front end of the bike feels much stiffer.

 

Lesson learned. HT steel is strong and makes everything feel more solid. And they're cheap. No More alloy or Ti bolts for me.

Ti Bolts.  All Ti is not the same!  If it comes from the Far East - then it is probably not grade 5, with questionable vanadium and aluminium content.  As far as strength goes. our ultimate strenght is up to 160,000 psi and we are 40% lighter that HT steel. Our Ti and alloy bolts are in made in the UK.  Pro-Bolt supplies almost every Moto GP and Superbike team in the world - the product is that good.  In SA, Kevin Evans, Gavin R, Andrew McClean, Robbie Setton, Pro-Line and a whole host of others ride our bolts and bicycle components - I warranty that the will be no creaking!

 

 

[GoLefty!!]

right so maybe my bolt should be a warranty replacement then!

Willehond.... dit is reg, jy kry die stainless boute sonner washers. Jy moet dan die washer afhaal, hulle sit styfe en moet "afgeskroef" word (knyp dit vas met 'n vice grip en skroef af met jou allen key). Moet dit NIE sonner washers gebruik nie.

 

Kannie verstaan dat jy nie die boute kry nie..... maar dan het ek altyd geweet die mense in Slaapstad nie al hulle nuts and bolts het nie!!!!!!! Teee heeeee!!!!

Dankie vir die raad Big H, ma hier in Kaapstad is dit maar net nou en dan wat ons probleme het met los boute en gewoonlik sal 'n knypie of twee net genoeg wees om die dame uit te help!

 

Ten minste is dit beter as daai manne in die noorde wat ek hoor baie keer 'n skroef of twee los het en wie se blou balle by hulle bakkies uithang.

 

Ek vat maar eerder die ou los bout of twee om al my aandag aan te gee...
