Titanium crank bolts _ Shimano XTR
Best ever crank arm bolts. No need for separate dust covers. From the late 1990s when square tapered bottom bracket axles were still the norm, these M8 bolts accept a 6mm Allen wrench (hex-key) and will fit any standard square tapered axle.
Apart from the lighter weight, the thin (1mm.) press fit aluminum surrounds look beautiful on most alloy cranks, much nicer than the familiar black plastic rings usually fitted onto similar style steel crank bolts. The base of the bolt measures just over 15mm. in diameter. For a flush fit on the face of some crank arms, the steel washer can be omitted. The aluminum bezel is 22mm. in diameter. But these will still fit nicely on the larger 23.35mm opening of older Stronglight crank arms with very little of the opening left noticeably exposed.
Weight of a pair is 14.35 grams or with the standard black steel flat washers supplied weight is 19.05 grams. A great find on eBay for only $10 USD per complete pair with shipping. Original MSRP was $60.
