|   Replacing seat clamp bolt: Titanium or aluminum...? | Wrenchester
Jan 28, 2003 12:30 PM | | It seems to me that an aluminum bolt would be sufficient in strength for a seat clamp, since it's main job is "pinching." Any thoughts or experiences among my fellow weight weenies? |
| I'd go with titanium.... | VT Mike
