Titanium mech hanger bolt

[Totaltuition]

Hi,
Silly question I'm sure but I'd rather ask before I do it. Any reason not to put a replacement titanium rear mech bolt into Klein frame. Just checking as it's come from a steel frame and I've heard about titanium bolts seizing in place and I don't want any problems.
Thanks
Andrew

Mines been in my BF for 20 years and it's not seized

Great. Thanks.

I'd be more worried about a knock against the derailleur damaging the hanger with a Ti bolt than I would about seizure. Conventional wisdom: Al frame with non replaceable derailleur hanger - use Al breakaway bolt.

Interesting point, so maybe an aluminium one instead.

this was my first thought.

It's a Klien, does anyone actually ride them?

If anyone wants to ride mine they must be a Virgin and first bathe in Yaks milk and have their soul purified by the gods.
But that's just me.
