12.9 steel MTB bolts

olryst · July 2012

Hi, does anyone know of any online shop that sells 12.9 steel bolts, conveniently, for the different parts of a bike?

Like ti bolts does for titanium bolts.

Thanks.

Hopefully nobody as 12.9 bolts suffer badly from hydrongen embrittlement and are completely unsuited to use on an MTB, stick with 10.8's to be honest.

Why the h3ll would you want 12.9s???

Errrrmmmmm...... 12.9, 10.9 etc refers to the grade of steel used in the bolt and is often stamped on the top of the bolt. No relation to length/diameter. See table near bottom:
