Why are you using titanium bolts on a bottle cage? :?

Alloy one's would be plenty strong enough and lighter. (and much cheaper too).

If you have to ask then you don't know ;)
 
I spent 65 quid on tibolts.co.uk very good bolts bit more than some other places but there grade 5 ti so one of the best one thing i would say is dont buy the rotor bolts as there 3mm allenkey not torx i got them and even with a new allen key and 4nm there starting to round!

Or if your after even pimper bolts try tastynuts.com

Far from me to put you off doing a full Ti fastner fit, but I would only use Ti on crucial load bearing applications, like stem, seatbolt and never ever on the Crank Bolts. Aluminium is virtually 50 percent lighter than Ti and more importantly won't Burr or Gall like Ti will. Oxidised/anodised Ti is better as this is less prone to seizing in! Crank bolts on square taper will inevitably Gall as will seat bolts. Aluminium is also bout a third to a half of the price too! Its best to use Tiprep first too. I used to use a lot of Ti fastners on my Trials Bikes, but it was a bu88er for galling into steel taps and although less likely to snap than alloy, will Gall into the steel if put under strain.
