Have titanium bolts gotten cheap. I just wanted two pieces of jewelry for my roadie, (m4x30mm), and they were $3.50 for a pack of TEN.
you may now return to covid talk.
and no, I don’t know why I posted this in the lounge.

When I built my R1 I swapped every nut and bolt I could with titanium. Between that and a full ti drivetrain, I shaved off quite a bit. It was kind of a fun process.

What is this "carbon fiber" and "titanium" which you speak of?

My aluminum bars get replaced every year when regularly riding because I've seen a head-on shot of me riding on a carbon bar :panic:; it looks bendy. And I've cracked both of my carbon mtb frames within 6 hours of assembly (first ride and first ride after rebuild).

I've gone back to aluminum, thank you. I'll take the weight and be happy. Some things aren't made for wookie.
