Ti Bolts Into Mag Wheels

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by chizel, Aug 4, 2020.

  1. hi team!
    as mentioned in another thread, i am fitting new discs to my mag wheels and most likely using ti bolts (although stainless have also been ordered as a backup) . i am wondering if i need to use something specific for fitment as in loctight or copper grease or?
    any advice would be great.
     
  2. oh and anyone no the torque setting?
     
  3. Front brake disk bolts 25nm

  4. Stainless are also prone to galling / picking up so lube and be careful whichever way you go. If you do some research (and yo think it may be an issue) you can get some spray (I can't remember what now) to protect the interface between the mag wheel and stainless rotor - but that is probably overkill :D

    Unsure of the effect on mag.

  7. same for ti with this grease on it?
     
  8. Why would you risk it. Ti picks up so easy and when it does your thread is gone. Also shear strength of Titanium as well as Stainless is a lot lower than even your standard 8.8 grade steel bolt. Your my 20 pence worth.
     
  9. i hate the finish on standard bolts. i li.e the idea of ti but if the general view is its no good for this application, id not use it.
     
  10. Think the 'k' on your typewriter is malfunctioning. ;);):p:p
