Those bolts would look great on your bike.
Sure, we could tell you that our Ultra-Low Profile Titanium Bottle Cage Bolts are lighter than steel (they are), stronger than aluminum (also true), and that our PVD finishes are vibrant, durable, and fade-resistant (yes, yes, and yes). Or that they won’t catch on or scratch your favorite bottles or interfere with bags and cables (yup).
And if you needed more reasons, we’d tell you that they are precision-machined from 6/4 titanium with a tightly-controlled 2.5mm hex and 1.75mm head height.
We’d temper your excitement a bit by reminding you that lightweight hardware requires a little more care, reminding you to apply nickel anti-seize to the threads, use a high-quality hex bit, and to set your torque wrench no higher than 3 Nm.
But let’s be real: you’re the discerning type and can already picture how well our Ultra-Low Profile hardware will work on your bike. How high-quality hardware feels to install. How they complement your bike’s clean aesthetic. How adding just the right amount of character can be what makes a bike truly yours.
So why not make it happen?
Precision Requires Care
Installation:
These bolts won't be for everyone. In order to achieve such a low head while maintaining bolt strength, our Ultra-Low Profile bolts use a 2.5mm hex. That means that care must be taken and the following are required for installation:
- High-quality 2.5mm hex bit in good condition
- Nickel anti-seize compound or dielectric grease
- Torque wrench set no higher than 2-3Nm
In addition, it is wise to remove and reapply anti-seize to the threads annually to prevent seizing. Re-apply more often if you sweat heavily, have leaky bottles of electrolyte drink, or ride on salted roads (or near the salt water).
