Im in need of some new bolts for my forks/ front discs . just priced up stainless disc bolts, spindle bolts, caliperbolts and axle pinch bolts and it works out to be £106! from pro bolt.

where else can i source new bolts?

I'm sure some are available from screwfix or ebay if you know what size bolts you need. I'm doing the same thing at the moment, just haven't looked at bolts yet....

screwfix, ebay, or wellafix, they said they would post them to you :)

Go titanium, I tried stainless disc bolts and didnt like them......... got 6 stainless left over?

what didnt you like about the stainless? i priced the ti bits but it was over £200 which is just mad!

I thought they were too soft when torquing up, just my personel opinion, when you consider the lenth of time you intend to keep the bike and the amount of re-torques/disc changes you may do.
Ti discs bolts approx £80-90 well worth it in my opinion.
The rest would be ok in stainless, just speakiing from my own experience ref the disc bolts.

are cheap but based in the states.

With any different materials take note of of torque settings (they will change) this is the number one cause of bolts snapping or things falling off.

Most of my original bolts were fine on my bike but just rusty. I invested in a zinc plating kit and replated them all.. cost around 80 quid for the kit but ive done 3 entire bikes with it so its worked out quite nicely.. plus the bolts are all pukka now and i dont have to worry about working out torque settings :)

Of course this option takes time and if you dont have it just buy new ones
