Stainless brake disc bolts?

Post by jetblack » Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:31 pm

Seeing as i've just had the wheels powder coated and have resprayed the disc centers its now pretty apparent how grubby my disc bolts are.

Can anyone tell me if these stainless bolts off of ebay would be ok as a replacement? No idea what type of stainless i need to make sure they're strong enough

Ive used stainless bolts in the past and have them on my bike now, never had a problem with them but you dont want those ones you found on ebay, the head area is quite small. Im not saying they wont work but the head area is a lot smaller than the stanard bolts and brakes are quite important :)

Hmm, i see what you mean about the head size.

Any ideas on anywhere else i could get them? I refuse to pay probolt prices. Its extortion.

No idea sorry, mine are probolt but luckily came free with a set of wheels. If i were buying new id go for OEM ones there only £1.40 each
