Ti Bolts

[daveaasmith]

There's a lot of titanium bolt sellers on ebay nowadays - anyone had much experience of these?

Yep,bought some M5 bolts,they arrived quick enough but the 4mm allen key wouldnt fit as the hex fitment was broached,(it cuts the shape by plunging a shaped cutter down into the metal),and this must have been worn through mass production,id pay a bit extra now and get quality bolts.

"Quality bolts" - you mean NOT from ebay? Or a different seller?

I've bought from here and the guy there (another Neil) has always been very helpful....not had any probs yet >> http://www.tibolts.co.uk/

Im sure there are ebay sellers with good bolts as there are a few of them but my first experience was crap,i get my bolts from the same place as neill does now,bit more expensive but no problems with the bolts.

Thats Neil at Superstar Components. They do some nice looking modern anodized stuff but I'm not sure how good quality it is?

These guys are geared ( :roll: ) mostly towards motorbikes but they used to do bike stuff as well, break-a-way mech hangers, etc. Even so they have a broad selection of bolts, nuts and washers. Come in lots of groovy colours too!!

I've not been a customer but they seem to be an established company with a huge product line.

Yeah same dude...sells on eBay too but it's cheaper to buy via his .com

Not to sure about all that ano stuff myself either :?

I have bought stacks from tasty nuts

No probs, good selection, just a couple of quid delivery, so need to order a few to make it worthwhile.
