NUTS AND BOLTS
« on: April 21, 2007, 06:54:35 PM »
I am contemplating "the bolt guy" s/s nuts and bolt package. but working with stainless/steel in the navy found that it looks good but is not as strong as high carbon steel. has anyone used this stainless package before?

No but I have replaced the majority of high visibility hardware on my bikes with 18-8 stainless and have not had any failures.  I don't think I would replace the caliper bolts, but there are probably some stainless steels that would work there as well.
