00:00If you're looking to shave off a few grams or you're just tired of dealing with rusty,
00:04rounded-out steel hardware, swapping to titanium is an absolute game-changer.
00:08I've done the homework and tracked down the best deals for the top 5 titanium bike
00:12stem and crank bolts you can get right now. Whether you're putting together a fresh build
00:17or just upgrading worn-out parts, these picks will give your cockpit and dry train a super
00:21clean, bulletproof finish. Kicking things off, we have the RISC M6 x 18mm crank fixing screws.
00:30The standout feature here is the precision CNC machining, the threads are buttery smooth and
00:34bite perfectly into crank pinch clamps or brake mounts without stripping. Priced at just around
00:39$8.16, they carry a rare, flawless 5-star rating with thousands sold. They're totally worth buying
00:46if you run Shimano or SRAM setups and want an affordable, corrosion-proof bolt that holds
00:51torque reliably season after season. Next up is the RISC M20 x 8mm crank arm bolt.
00:58If you've ever had the misfortune of dealing with those fragile, stock plastic preload caps that
01:03round off the second you touch them, this titanium version is the ultimate fix. Its best feature is
01:09the high-strength titanium alloy build that allows you to properly seat your crankset without worrying
01:13about thread shear. At only $5.59, it's a tiny investment that permanently eliminates one of the
01:20most frustrating maintenance headaches on your bike. In the third spot, we have the RISC 2-Piece M6 x 18mm
01:28bolt set. What makes this pack special is its high tensile rating, making these bolts equally suited for
01:34clamping down your crank arms or securing high-stress disc brake calipers. You get a set of two for around
01:40$6.83, which is tough to beat for genuine aerospace-grade titanium. It's well worth picking
01:47up if you want that extra peace of mind when laying down power or grabbing a handful of brake on
01:51steep
01:51descents. Fourth on the list is designed specifically for modern drivetrains, the RISC titanium DUB crank
01:58cover cap and bolt set. The key highlight here is the integrated self-extracting design, engineered to
02:04replace those notorious factory SRAM DUB bolts that love to seize up over time. It sits at $18.87,
02:12but with a perfect 5-star rating across thousands of riders, it pays for itself the first time you
02:17effortlessly pull your crank arm off without snapping an alloy extractor cap. Rounding out the list is the
02:23RISC M20 Plum Blossom Crank Set Cover Bolt, tailored specifically for popular Shimano Holotech cranks like
02:29XT and XTR. The best feature is the Torx-style starhead, which spreads tooltorque evenly so
02:35you'll never chew up the bolt face during installation. Coming in at an incredible price of
02:40just $4.78, it's easily the most budget-friendly pick on the list and a no-brainer upgrade to keep
02:46your bottom bracket area looking sharp and completely rust-free. That does it for our top titanium bolt
02:52picks. All the direct links to each product are waiting for you down in the description below so you
