<strong style="font-family: helvetica;">The little things in life[/b]
I had some spare money to spend and I needed to get my order over 'x' amount for free shipping so I bought some Profile Titanium Flush bolts to replace the ugly, nasty looking, bog standard bolts that came with my Profile cranks. Yes they are expensive for just bolts but they neaten up the crank bolt area so much and they took away the need to carry my socket set around with me to sort my cranks out if I ever needed to as they used a 5mm (imperial equivalent0 allen key. I was expecting to round of the allen key hole with mysteel alen key ike I alwyas seem to do but no the things been done up and undone more times than umanly needs be and its still intact. Seeing as it was threading intoa titanium axle I tought some major greasing of the threads was in order to prevent any seizing of the two and yes all seems well.
This probably the only piece of titanium BMX kit that I would actually suggest buyng if you were in the market for a bit of exotica and had a spare bit of cash floating about in your Swiss bank accounts.
Specs
<ul style="font-family: helvetica;">
Certified Aerospace Grade Titanium Flush Mount Bolts with aluminum washers.
Kit includes two bolts and two washers.
Fit Profile Racing, Premium Lite and Odyssey 41 Thermal 19mm crank spindles.
Just 22g for both bolts and washers.
£31 - They were half the price when I bought them!
[/list]Pros:
+ Light
+ Looks Smart
+ Surprisingly strong not made of cheese like everything else titanium
Cons:
- Expensive
Overral
7/10 - A nice finihsing touch to a fantastic set of cranks but comes at a bit of a cost to the wallet.
