Rison Titanium Bolts Application：

GR5 titanium bolts may be used in many parts of bicycles. Here is a summary of the specific parts of bicycles

that may use titanium screws for your reference.

1. Stem Bolts

• Location: Connects handlebar stem to steerer tube.
• Specifications: M5/M6 x 20-30mm.
• Material: Grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V).
• Advantages: 45% lighter than steel, corrosion-resistant against sweat.
• Precautions: Use anti-seize compound (e.g., copper-based grease) to prevent galvanic corrosion
• between titanium and aluminum.

2. Disc Brake Caliper Bolts

• Location: Secures brake calipers to frame/fork.
• Specifications: M6 x 20-25mm (common for flat-mount standards).
• Key Considerations: Must withstand high shear forces; titanium bolts often paired with steel threaded
• inserts (e.g., Galfer Ti kits) for durability.

3. Derailleur Mounting Bolts

• Types: Rear derailleur hanger bolts, direct-mount front derailleur bolts.
• Specifications: M10 x 1.0 (common for Shimano direct-mount systems).
• Upgrade Value: Significant weight savings (3-5g per bolt).
• Risks: Prone to thread stripping with frequent removal; use a torque wrench (4-6Nm).

4. Chainring Bolts

• Design: Connects chainrings to cranksets (1x/2x/3x systems).
• Specifications: M8 x 8mm for 1x, M5 x 10mm for multi-chainring setups (e.g., RaceFace titanium bolts).
• Technical Notes: Torx T25 heads reduce wear compared to standard hex bolts.
• Weight Savings: Replacing 12 steel bolts with titanium saves ~18g.

5. Bottle Cage Bolts

• Specifications: M5 x 12-16mm.
• Aesthetic Options: Anodized finishes (blue/red/gold) for customization.
• Pro Tip: Pair with titanium bottle cages (e.g., King Cage Ti) for full titanium lightweight setups.

6. Suspension Linkage Bolts

• Applications: Full-suspension MTBs (e.g., Santa Cruz V10).
• Specifications: M8-M12 long-axis bolts.
• Cautions: Dynamic loads require careful selection; recommended for XC/light trail, avoid in Enduro/DH.

7. Pedal Axle Bolts

• Example: HT Components titanium axle pedals.
• Benefits: Reduced rotational inertia, improved pedal responsiveness.
• Strength: Titanium axles reach ~900MPa tensile strength (slightly less ductile than chromoly steel).

8. Seatpost Clamp Bolts

• Types: Single-bolt or dual-bolt designs.
• Upgrade Benefits: Reduces clamping system weight, eliminates aluminum cold-welding issues.
• Classic Mod: USE Alien seatpost with titanium bolt upgrades.

9. Brake Lever Pivot Bolts

• Hidden Upgrade: Titanium pivot bolts for SRAM/Avid brake levers.
• Performance: Reduces friction, enhances lever smoothness.

10. Headset Preload Bolt

• Function: Adjusts headset bearing preload.
