Upgrade your bicycle with genuine Grade 5 titanium bolts from My Bike Shop. Designed for riders who value lightweight performance, corrosion resistance and reliable engineering, our titanium fasteners are made from Ti-6Al-4V, a high-strength titanium alloy widely used in aerospace and other demanding applications.
Unlike many “titanium” bolts sold online, our bolts are not ungraded or supplied without traceability. We stock certified Grade 5 titanium bolts and can provide a material certificate upon request.
What Is Grade 5 Titanium?
Grade 5 titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is one of the most widely used high-performance titanium alloys. It contains aluminium and vanadium to provide a strong combination of:
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Low density
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good durability
- Premium appearance
- Suitability for demanding applications
For bicycle components, titanium bolts can be an attractive upgrade where weight, corrosion resistance and finish are important.
Not All Titanium Bolts Are the Same
Many products advertised online as “titanium bolts” are either:
- Ungraded titanium
- Grade 2 titanium
- Sold without a material certificate
- Inconsistently described by the seller
- Finished with paint instead of a proper surface treatment
Grade 2 titanium is commercially pure titanium and is generally softer and lower in strength than Grade 5. If you are specifically looking for a stronger, certified titanium fastener, it is important to confirm the material grade rather than relying only on the word “titanium” in a product listing.
At My Bike Shop, our range focuses on:
Real Grade 5 titanium, with certification—not ungraded titanium.
Product Features of Titanium
Our Grade 5 titanium bicycle bolts feature:
Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V construction
The bolts are manufactured from Grade 5 titanium alloy, also known as Ti-6Al-4V. This is the same titanium alloy commonly associated with high-performance engineering and aerospace fastener applications.
Material certification available
We can provide a material certificate for our Grade 5 titanium bolts. This provides additional confidence regarding the material specification and helps distinguish certified fasteners from unverified online listings.
Pan head design
The pan head profile provides a clean, practical finish for compatible bicycle components and accessories.
Hexalobular socket
The bolts use a hexalobular socket in accordance with ISO 14583, with a T25 drive size.
A correctly fitting T25 tool is important for proper installation and helps reduce the risk of damaging the bolt head during tightening or removal.
Anodized or PVD finish
Our coloured finishes are produced using anodizing or PVD, rather than paint. This gives the bolts a more integrated and durable surface finish while preserving the premium appearance of the titanium underneath.
Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects
Our Grade 5 titanium bolts are covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect installation, overtightening, cross-threading, unsuitable tools, modification, misuse or normal wear.
Why Use Titanium Bolts on a Bicycle?
Titanium bolts are popular among cyclists who want to refine their bicycle’s components and appearance. Depending on the application, they may offer:
- Weight savings compared with many steel fasteners
- Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
- A high-quality, premium finish
- Strong and durable performance
- A distinctive upgrade for lightweight or custom bicycles
However, titanium bolts should always be selected for the correct application. Not every bicycle bolt should automatically be replaced with titanium. Critical components must use fasteners with the correct size, thread, length, strength and tightening specification.
Installation and Safety
Before installing titanium bolts:
- Confirm the correct thread diameter, pitch and bolt length.
- Check that the bolt is suitable for the intended component.
- Use a quality T25 tool that fits correctly.
- Clean the threads and contact surfaces.
- Apply the recommended lubricant or assembly compound where appropriate.
- Tighten the bolt to the component manufacturer’s specified torque.
- Do not exceed the recommended torque.
- Do not use titanium bolts in safety-critical applications unless their suitability has been confirmed.
For components such as stems, handlebars, brake calipers, seatposts and suspension systems, always follow the bicycle or component manufacturer’s instructions.
