Oil-Slick Titanium bolts are a great way of doing that. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rotor bolts are the standard m5 x 10mm length, which is most commonly specified on MTBs. They're made of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6AL-4V (Grade 5 - Aerospace grade) Titanium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on installation\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThese bolts come without a threadlocker. So you'll need to apply a threadlocker to ensure they don't fall out. Just a drop of Loctite 243 will do the trick (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/outspokencycles.co.nz\/collections\/all\/products\/loctite-243-threadlocker\"\u003ewe sell that here\u003c\/a\u003e). Only a drop, though, any more will make it difficult to extract the bolts from your hub. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on bolt colours\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThese bolts all have a slightly different colour profile; it's a feature, not a bug. Most are primarily purple with a blue-ish tinge. Some are primarily blue with purple-ish tinge. Don't buy them and then tell us they're inconsistent 😊\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Titanium vs Steel vs Alloy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteel rotor bolts are cheap and strong, but you can't really get cool colours with them. Alloy bolts are cheap, light a wide variety of colours are available, but they're weak and very easy to strip when you install them or try to remove them. Titanium bolts are light, strong and there's a range of colours available, but they're expensive as hell. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo if you're keen on a coloured bolt, get a titanium one. Alloy bolts might be cheaper, but they're not worth the inevitable hassle of trying to remove them when they strip on installation or removal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not just get my bolts from Temu or Aliexpress?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe got a few to have a look. All of them claimed to be Titanium, but none of them were.
