WTF - Ally caliper mounting bolts
I know the discussion over standard caliper bolts V's stainless steel bolts has been done to death on here.

But, spotted these this morning ..... Ally bolts used for mounting calipers .... surely not

Plus, I'm not 100% sure about the ally bolts holding the caliper together.

You can buy blue titanium fasteners from Tasty Nuts, so I reckon they're those and the rest are ally. Would make sense ... I hope!

Personally I'd be happy to swap standard bolts for Stainless. As for Ally ones, I'd just feel concerned over the shear factor and the risk of them snapping when braking hard. If trick ally ones are strong enough I would have thought that they would be fitted as standard on top spec bikes.


I hope I do have it wrong and they are Ti.
