Ordered some nice bolts off ebay, I think it sets the calipers off nicely.

£5 for 12 bolts delivered, and he does all types of bolts + nuts etc.....

stocking fillers sorted for the bike heads lol

Just be careful were you use them.

Some bolts are steel for a reason, 12 bolts for £5 isnt alot so im guessing by the price they are cheap rubbish...

You'd think that, but I had one of them sheer tested at my old place of employment.

It broke at 0.12 % before the the steel comparison bolt.

Which is nice for aluminium, and considering I served my time as a mechanical engineer, looks good to me.

[jacks2ts]

Where on the bay did you find them , are you in the " Blue Gang " with errrmmmm and whatshisface"
first rule of the blue gang is never make jack coffee with milk in it.:)

[penguinni]

...second rule is never drink coffee Old One Tooth Jack makes!:p

That hurts :( not as much as me tooth and the dentist cant do it till thursday so of to the shed with a file and save meself a few quid for nice blue shinny things ;)
P.S. Get back to work you slacker

The guys name on Ebay is beauty*max , I've nothing to do with him but his products are good.

If you order anything and believe all the arm chair engineers that it wont be strong or is rubbish, then give a sample to me and i'll get it tested with a report of testing, just to clarify.

A few years working on oil rigs has me a bit fussy on strength and stuff :rolleyes:

[penguinni]

...dont suppose you could knock together a new set of gnashers for Jack, Sorley?? :D

[Sorlith]

...dont suppose you could knock together a new set of gnashers for Jack, Sorley?? :D

Aluminium or mild steel? ;)

[jacks2ts]

I'll get them ordered cheers :)
It was only the side of 1 tooth i lost it just needs the sharp edge getting rid off , but if you could do 1 in Ali' and blue hhhmmmmmmmm ! blue ;)

[Sorlith]

if your dentist can give me dimensions, I'll get something special cnc milled for ya.......

andonising will cost an extra quid for the trouble ;)

nothing like a blue tooth, except it may infringe a patent :D

[jacks2ts]

It'll be firgin cool though " **** showing me age again!:o

I remember when blue bolts were cool.

It was a very very long ago though.

I've seen it all go wrong before, the fella was lucky to get up and walk.

But at the end of the day you served your time as a mechanical engineer and you know better. Good luck.

tell the scientists to ditch the shear test machine and get an andrew godfrey fitted, don't matter what it is he'll get it wrecked far below the shear/bending/tensile/fatigue strength with a good solid bashing...and a hint of negligence...

I can almost smell your sarcasm from here.

And yes, I've done more than most. If you'd like to see my 2 HNDs, and my HNC for mechanical, machining, and telecommunications engineering feel free to call round. Oh and my 5 Cisco CCNA cert's are here too if you want a look.

And no, at the weekend I ride my bike.

Your some pup Sorly, all that by 24?? Fair play till ye.

I still wouldn't trust your cheap alloy bolts. Tbh, 12 bolts for a £5, they aught to be the biggest loada ****.


Just outta interest? When testing, did you put the bolts in tension before testing the shear stregth? Or did you just use a simple tensile test and pull them apart. Remember you need to take fatigue into account aswell.

I got a few cheap ano'd bolts off the bay once and horsed one into an alloy block, torque'd it an the head came clean off, I threw them in the bin.

Yeah, thats the joys of having a little daughter to support and having to leave school and start working, was never happy with one career and I've always wanted to travel with my jobs, So I took pay cuts to gain other trades.

the bolts were tested using by the axial tensile method, little washer applied and pulled apart using the test rig. Albeit it was compared to a bolt that had been used in a mandrel previously.

I'm not saying these bolts are the be all and end all, but a few machinists confirmed that they are more than adequate to hold a caliper. I wouldn't be running them on a pivot or the likes.......

If you'd like to see my 2 HNDs

oh aye, I heard they were doing s***e talkin diplomas at the tec now :D

Mate honestly, I can't be ****ing annoyed with you. Go find a pinch bolt to break off or something.

[Sorlith]

could say the same for you and multiplexing servers sorlith!

cause you'd know all about them wouldn't you big lad.

Not a clue good sir. Infact i know less about them than i know about sewing but the term pot kettle black has never felt so relevant

[Sorlith]

Not a clue good sir. Infact i know less about them than i know about sewing but the term pot kettle black has never felt so relevant

so which pot are you referring too?

and personally I hate all these internet discussions, so if you'd like to discuss this face to face with me, with your bike involved, then lets have ya.

[mprules]

The pot containing all the keyboard warriors good sir. As for bikes? well i think there is one in my garage somewhere.

[SFN]

YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF YOUR CERTS ! Funniest thing i've seen in ages.

[rochey]

I think he has one for the most spectacular off's

Oh, no, hang on, thats that other boy, whats his name?

Spanner something.....monkey

[Sorlith]

The pot containing all the keyboard warriors good sir. As for bikes? well i think there is one in my garage somewhere.

And please do refer to a time when I have been trying to put someone down, disregard them, or tell them they are something they are not?

I think you've got the wrong batch of pots big lad. And trust me, if you want to continue this, I'll bring my bike in for a cable tie replacement or something.

[Sorlith]

YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF YOUR CERTS ! Funniest thing i've seen in ages.

That might be something to do with shutting people up on this forum that have too much to say and feck all to back it up with.

[rochey]

Fair play to you Sorlith, for having the grey matter to make sure you got the paper to back up the claims. Don't worry mate, alot of people get all these exams and degrees and end up asking the question...Do you want fries with that?

I think its ironic that 3 lines after the question you make a vague threat while also trying to suggest that your better than me.....

[Kona Rab]

This thread is up there with the "I just washed my bike". :D

[Sorlith]

Vauge nothing, time/place?

and the threat of bringing my bike in for a cable tie replacement was genuine, after seeing you in action with a chain ring replacement, I'd let me daughter do it before you.

[mprules]

Thats why they try and keep me in the back :)

And if you trying to throw a little dig at me, I've never claimed to be a master at anything.

I believe I've been called a jack of all trades, and a master at none.

The main thing I've noticed here is the real cycles gang (exculding steveb), do you have a problem with me?

because I'd be happy to help you sort it out.

[TrixR4kidz]

This is AWESOME!!!

[Sorlith]

This ain't no nerd fight......

Far from being obnixous/acting hard. I'll back up what I say fully. Wether it be bikes/fists/cars/lathe competitions/whatever.

This is people on THIS forum acting superior, belitting people and voicing their opinions where they have no place to do so.

This started as a thread for me to show a few bolts I got cheap THAT ARE PROVEN STRONG(by me and a major oilrig manufacturing company)! and it has turned into this balls.

I'm starting to think.......has this site got some sort of bitterness about it?

Is there some sort of Jealousy about what other people have achievied?

[Sorlith]

and just for your information, I'm away to my girlfriends house, from which Ill leave for work tomorrow.

So I may not reply to any responses until 5pm tomorrow.

[Lwatson]

Haha, this is brilliant. The reason why I love mtbrider.

[penguinni]

Guys, enough already!

I think its time for a big MTBRider hug!

Now everyone say sorry and behave.

And porn shouldnt be allowed in a post title unless its actually relevant. How disafeckingpointed was I......

[johnny]

I love the way any topic at all on this forum can turn it to an argument!:D

BTW back on topic, I love the look of them - Think could they make me some purple ones?

[jacks2ts]

Sorry i was away for this getting physio and looking after the rug rats but, I Only wanted some off the blue bolts for feck sake :(

The main thing I've noticed here is the real cycles gang (exculding steveb), do you have a problem with me?

Sorlith, Andy & Luke are they're own men, they post on here as individuals not staffers in the shop that owns this site. The two things are mutually exclusive. The only person who represents my shop on here is me. And I do have issues with you. You use a PC ;-)

Personally, I'd have gone for purple bolts. And as for all this strength bollox, it's a fecking brake caliper bolt not a stem bolt!

Oh ya, and I'm head of zip tie tweaking, feel free to call in and see me.

[Michael]

So pink standard issue for SC owners then?

[kylemalco]

I could have helped her balance if she had asked

[Steveb]

Why are you all talking about Santa Cruz? Is there a picture of one somewhere?

No was talking about the woman leaning against the wall:banghead:

Mad talk, Alu bolts on a brake mount is a bad idea. The amount of force they go through when the brake is locked on is a lot and amplified by the large rotor size. 12% is a big difference.
The question is, if it is a good idea then why do the mounts not come with Alu bolts?

Wheres the fella who makes videos of washing his bike?

[penguinni]

No offence Rochey mate, but if youre going to ask me to dress like that next time we are out Im afraid the answer is no.

And besides, the pink would clash with my snotty green Blur!

I just knew I shouldn't have started to read this thread.

Does the bolts really make a BIG difference no, do they look good on the bike NO!. Does the wee lad like them YES, so his choice to do what ever he wants to his bike at whatever cost he sees fit. IMHO..

Have you taken account of heat and heat cycle on those aluminum bolts.

[Lwatson]

Have you taken account of heat and heat cycle on those aluminum bolts.

Would heat really be an issue? The bigger issue IMO is fatigue.
I've had caliper bolts sheer on me before.

I suppose we have to accept that Sorly served his time as a mechanical engineer has multiple HNCs n Ds and worked on oil rigs, he knows what he's doing :alcohol:

Ya, seen her, but where is the Santa Cruz?

I see two bikes in that picture...

Ass whooping - everybody be afraid, very afraid.

Give the guy a break. firstly whoever said that £5 is cheap for some bolts, if you think that you should see how much hardware shops buy them for. Bolts have a ridiculous mark up particularly by bike manufacturers. take pedal pins for example. i would never buy the "branded" grub screws when i can get the same ones in a good hardware store for at least half the price. Also fair enough for the sake of a few grams it is a much better idea to use steel bolts for calipers due to the forces etc but the guy was merely just trying to suggest a product to people so if you don't like it don't buy it. there is no need for all the b*tchiness. Maybe he could even give a bit of feedback in a few months time and let us know how there holding up. Also in fairness to the guy alot can be achieved in 9 years from leaving school.e.g. you could finish your a levels and complete a medical degree and be practicing in a hospital by age 24 and if i had gone on to complete a phd I would have been 24/25 when finishing so less of the slagging, just ride your bikes, buy the parts you want to buy and respect other riders. we all have the same thing in common and its hard enough to get any respect off anyone else never mind other riders turning on us so wise up.

[Lwatson]
