Supplier for 'good' (or great) quality bolts

[tbgallant]

I don't need/want Titanium bolts, I just want good quality (good threads, good tolerance on the socket head that will interface well with quality hex keys, etc).

Does anybody have a good Ali supplier for this sort of thing?  I'm find with paying a bit more than the 'budget variety pack of meh bolts' that I often see (and have bought before).

Thanks

I've used Wanyifa and found them to be good quality: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/32974346009.html. Both the reviews and the products themselves are quite valid.

Otherwise, Riderace is another option that usually has excellent products: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006784698069.html

I've used Wanyifa and they have been great. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832786983064.html

I've ordered Riderace, but haven't mounted them yet, so I can't say for sure. My only gripe is they say titanium coating to get titanium in the keywords. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806598383317.html

Deemount also has bolts and screws. I've used their concave/conical spacers and they seem better than the OEM ones that split apart. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101306094/pages/all-items.html

Finally I've also used RISK bolts as well and they seem good. They are also supposedly titanium, but I don't know if they actually are. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807048018466.html

I can vouch for Wanyifa, they’ve been great.
Also have some Risk and Taimeili bolts. Also pretty good.

Hello!

For good fasteners you want graded ones with a stamped number on the screws head. Most of the time when the screw head is blank, the fasteners is subpar quality like the ones you find in IKEA furniture.

Stainless steel fasteners is what I use for my bikes except for brake rotors:

A2-70 is general purpose stainless(similar to 304). Good enough if you don't ride in salty roads.

A4-80 is  marine grade(similar to 316 stainless) these resist to salt but are often more expensive.

For carbon steel ones, go for at least grade 8.8. 10.9 if you want to go overkill a little and 12.9 if you are building a bike that can also fly to space.

On Ali Express there are many stores that sells graded fasteners. I don't have any to suggest. I would check for reviews and look at the store reputation.

I’m using wanifa and muqzi since ages now never had any issue

Sounds like folks fine the price for Wanyifa Ti to be worth it vs just 'run of the mill stainless' when I'm not worried about weight?

Sounds like I will just have to try and find a 'well reviewed graded SS bolt' supplier for my 'commuter bike' needs. 

Nice to know Wanyifa is good for Ti though! 

Cheers

I bought a assortment of stainless metric fasteners on Amazon a while back and I forgot to tell you in my first reply, I just checked the brand and it's Senyard. I don't know if you have access to these in your country on Amazon.

They are graded and good quality at around 30$CAD.

+3 for Wanyifa, I've used them multiple times.

Anyone knows which bolt dimensions are needed for an SL8/X68?

Depends what screws your looking for?

There are some SL8 seatpost wedge screws on Ali, but haven't found one with 4mm allen key, so I took one of those sets with T25 and I also took a top cap set from risk, where they have a 4mm allen key bolt, that has the same dimension as original SL8 seatpost wedge screw, I can look for the links.

There are also some options for M5x10mm with cylindrical head, for the derailleur hanger https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004204602992.html?

For the bottle cage bolt, take some M5x12mm from Wanyifa, I took other, but missed that they're half round and not pan head.. looks bit bulky now.. For the handlebar idk which screw set U need there

My plan was to exchange all relevant bolts of the X68 to higher grade (Ti) bolts.

Yeah, Then it's the seatpost wedge bolt+derailleur hanger bolt, maybe the seatpost bolts themselves, but they're not corroding on my bike. Maybe the preload bolt for the headset, that's Standard M6.

Hi, I tested tipartstitanium.com, I'm very happy with the service, shipment and all. They even include the TAX in their prices, it's easier for the customs, e.g. in Poland so the EU in general. I bought several things, rather very light stuff  Very soon I will test it and mount on a bike. If you want, I have some discount - 10%, unfortunately, that is without timaster product - https://tipartstitanium.com/MARIUSZ
