Titanium Rotor Bolts
If you're reading this, we guess that you're keen to make your bike look a little more... Bling. Oil-Slick Titanium bolts are a great way of doing that.
These rotor bolts are the standard m5 x 10mm length, which is most commonly specified on MTBs. They're made of 6AL-4V (Grade 5 - Aerospace grade) Titanium.
A note on installation
These bolts come without a threadlocker. So you'll need to apply a threadlocker to ensure they don't fall out. Just a drop of Loctite 243 will do the trip. Only a drop, though, any more will cause an issue.
A note on bolt colours
These bolts all have a slightly different colour profile; it's a feature, not a bug. Most are primarily purple with a blue-ish tinge. Some are primarily blue with purple-ish tinge. Don't buy them and then tell us they're inconsistent 😊
Why Titanium vs Steel vs Alloy?
Steel rotor bolts are cheap and strong, but you can't really get cool colours with them. Alloy bolts are cheap, light a wide variety of colours are available, but they're weak and very easy to strip when you install them or try to remove them. Titanium bolts are light, strong and there's a range of colours available, but they're expensive as hell.
So if you're keen on a coloured bolt, get a titanium one. Alloy bolts might be cheaper, but they're not worth the inevitable hassle of trying to remove them when they strip on installation or removal.
Why not just get my bolts from Temu or Aliexpress?
We got a few to have a look. All of them claimed to be Titanium, but none of them were. You can spin the lottery wheel if you like 😂
