Hey ladies and gents,
I am thinking aobut changing the bolts on my handlebar/stem/rotors for titanium....for a weight factor...but mainly so it dosent rust,
Can anybody point me in the direction of the ones i need, and also where they are cheapest....also would i notice the weight diff on my bike?

Ebay have loads.
But a good quality steel bolt is stronger than a titanium one.0 -

Titanium is corrosion resistant,lighter than steel and in terms of strength not far off stainless.
Weight wise you would have to work out how many bolts you want to replace and do the maths. You can also get carbon bolts but they are relatively low torque fastenings
