Title: Chain adjuster nuts/bolts
Post by: Gaz1978 on Friday, 24 February 2017, 07:03 PM
Anyone recommend any good ones (maybe coloured blue)? Seen some but at £20 for 2 bolts thought that's a bit pricey  :whatever:

Any recommendations.........

just go to your local bolt shop, very cheap. stainless but not coloured. end up with nut sizes all the same, cant remember but either 12 or 13 mm. cost was 5 bucks max. if only the axle nut was as easy to source. its not. have to pay the big bucks. unless someone on here knows of supplier for one. m25 x 1.5mm pitch. ive searched the world. $50 for a nut worth $5.

HI Gaz,
I have the pro Bolt ones in Black stainless which are ok, I've also sprayed a few heads Black as well which seems to work ok, they need a little touch up after tightening.
I Cant vouch for sickly Blue though  :worshippy:

I used the natural stainless Probolt ones Gaz, never had an issue with them, my preference was always natural rather than coloured as over time coloured can wear on nuts and bolts that are in use often

Pro Bolt Titanium on mine along with Pro Bolt Black chain adjuster blocks.

The Pro Bolt items have the "Correct" 10mm head on the bolt and 12mm for the lock nut. Other cheaper ones are both 13mm :onya:

So it looks like probolt is the preferred make then!

Next question.....where's cheapest/best place to get them from?

Probolt themselves or "Just Bandits"

Everywhere else adds on their "cut" Gaz
