Rusting Brake Disc Bolts

Post by parkec »

Besides me.. anybody else experiencing rusting bolts? I ride a lot of rain..well seemingly so.

I wonder If I could go Titanium... from say Tasty Nuts? I Know with titanium you need to use special lube or the bolts will "meld" and never come off without damage to the socket/nut. any other issues... Plus, I'm a little uneasy about applying lube to disk nuts :-k Opp doh! let me back up... over at tasty they have Titanium for Aprillia, Ducati, Triumph, Honda ect...brake discs sooo very possible....they also have a locktite clone for Titanium.... :-k :-k :-k so it's possible..

anybody?
