Is there an easy way to order many of bolts which can be replaced on the bike? or even a list of them based on the section of the bike. Thanks.
Its this, Im a milimeter guy, living in Sweden.. and to that im working at a car making suplier, I have all sorts of bolts in my garage, and could get some more if needed.
In any case, I prefer Allen head bolts.. to that I can buy stainless on my local hardware shop if i like!
But this is in Europe,, an easy task.
At last, im a workshop guy, know a bit of milimeter, UNC/UNF, whitworth, any other bolts and treads!
In any case, go to a local hardware shop, and buy better/often cheaper bolts.. and if you like Allen heads and/or stainles, what ever!
In anyway one dont like rusty bolt heads, change them, first as it look awful on a bike, for the other, could it be rusty inside of the aluminium casings.. perticaly if there is on the engin!
The thing is, that original bolts is the cheapest for manufactories to buy, but is expensive to buy as spare parts!
The only bolts that is importante to buy as spareparts is head bolts, or other bolts that conect moving parts, or bearing bolts!
