Online, December 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Most riders are unaware that they can shave off up to two pounds of unnecessary weight by simply switching the stock heavy steel bolts on their bike to Lighter, Superior Quality Titanium Bolts and Carbon Fiber headset washers and top caps. Sound to good to be true? Most experienced riders ask "well why then to most bike companies not stock their higher end bikes with titanium bolts?" The answer is that, some highend parts do come with ti bolts and others other upgrade kits with ti bolts. For example, Profile offers ti bolt kits for their cranks, Avid sells titanium bolt kits for some brakes as well as many others. The other thing to remember is that Titanium costs much more to produce and adds to the overall price tag of complete bikes that may make them less competitive. Bike manufactures can have steel bolts produced for fractions of a penny, while ti bolts can cost a couple dollars each. Keep in mind most complete bikes have somewhere around thirty to forty bolts each depending on the setup. Titanium is also less corrosive, meaning it won't rust out like steel. Grade 5 Titanium, used primarily for bike parts, also has proven to be as strong, if not stronger in many applications than steel at half the weight.
The good news is that Titanium bicycle bolt companies are now producing and distributing ti bolts for most applications to meet the demand. One of the popular bolt companies in Southern California is Imperial Bike Co., which lists their products on their website: www.ImperialBikeCo.com
After many years of working in the bicycle industry and having countless encounters with customers using titanium bolts and parts of all sorts, IMPERIAL BIKE COMPANY was formed.
