Ask a Mechanic: Adding Style and Saving Weight with Custom Bolts



Whether you want to give your bike that custom edge or play the weight weenie game, custom bolts can do the trick! Swapping out steel bolts for titanium bolts can save you a few grams here and there, but Carbon-Ti brand bolts allow you to color coordinate your bike. Using proper grease or anti-seize compound along with the appropriate torque spec will ensure a hassle free installation and removal.
