Review on Corki Titanium Bike Screw M5 X 10Mm Bicycle Disc Brakes Rotor Bolts Nuts Torx T25 Head Sports & Fitness for Cycling by Derick Johns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice little screw, totally resistant to corrosion

They arrived on time and in the color I ordered. They look good and are probably lighter than the standard models, but that's not why I bought them. I bought these for their corrosion resistance as I changed my steel bolts quite often when commuting to work in the rain and mud and they rusted faster than I would like. Not that they're completely rusted, though. They hold my brakes. You must be sure. Worse, the steel bolts caused a galvanic reaction between the bolt and the hub (a white, powdery material that builds up between two parts exposed to water and an electrolyte like minerals in dirt or salt). Now that I've had them on my bike for a few months I don't see any rust around the edges and when I took them apart there was no sign of a galvanic reaction, although I don't know. just before winter, when the roads are salted, when these reactions are at their worst. So I think if you ride in places where rust and corrosion is a problem they can really be of great help and they're a great price too. If you like their looks, the finish is nice and shiny, just don't think that just because they're a little lighter you'll go faster. addendum; like someone else said, make sure you put a drop or two of medium strength Loctite or threadlock on each and they should be golden.

Pros
  • Bike brakes and parts
Cons
  • Nothing here
