| Go with aluminium if you are not to heavy | Anders
Oct 30, 2002 8:11 AM | | My Formula steel disc bolts weight 28grams for 12 pcs. Now, I don't know your weight, but I weigh 80kg, and I am using aluminium bolts on the discs for about 2 months now. You save 2/3 of the wieght of steel. That is about 18-19grams saved on the disc's alone. But if you weigh some more than me, go for the titanium.
But then you will only save 1/2 of steel.
A rider I know, weighs about 100-110kg, has broken the head of a couple of steel bolts, so be carefull, and inspect them once in a while.
And one more issue; titanium bolts is about 5 times more expensive than aluminium bolts. |
