I know all about that! Ha haMinifreak":2rh9rulq said:Cheaper than Ti bike bug
I've so far managed to avoid this, utilising the logic that it's cheaper to lose the wieght from my gut than to replace minuscule bits of my bike with exotic metals.
Sadly, I don't know how long my resistance can last, and Ti Bolts is inevitably a gateway drug to harder stuff, like Ti seatposts, and bars, and bottle cages, and cranks, and pedals, and frames, and, oh shit... :facepalm:

I completely understand that logic GSB, and quite frankly, a month on Atkins would do me good (although Atkins and vegetarianism is quite a task)
BUT....how many times on a virgin ride with a new build with your mates have they picked you up and said...'feck me, you're lighter than I expected!'

The main reason why I use mostly Ti bolts is to avoid corrosion. I hate rusty bolts! I know stainless will be cheaper but you might as well go titanium if the application allows.
I usually buy them in bulk (50 plus pcs.) form China. Way cheaper than buying the exorbitantly priced kits that have 4 bolts or so in them (and those are most likely sourced from China as well).

I am a fan too, Ti is used widely in the offshore arena for a good reason. Amazing stuff.
