The sprocket nuts ?? , do you mean remove 1 at a time , if so yes , then re torque .These can be removed one at a time while the wheel is still on right?
Just looking to replace them with a black finished bolt.

43 is plenty some alum versions call for 20 ish lbYes sorry mean nuts, thanks
43.5lbs doesnt seem like enough torque but ok!
What do the Ti bolts torque at?43 is plenty some alum versions call for 20 ish lb
same . Remember these are not lug nuts as many commonly think of them . The load is on the studs . The sprocket nuts just simply hold the sprocket flat or true . The wheels load is is by the axle / spacersWhat do the Ti bolts torque at?

Yes the nuts I got said 30ftlbs43 is plenty some alum versions call for 20 ish lb
sorry for digging older thread but wanted to know if it is safe to use aluminium nuts instead of the OEM ones (rear sprocket nuts).I think the safest bet would be TI bolts but can aluminium ones can also be used.Yes the nuts I got said 30ftlbs
That just felt way too damn loose.
Torqued down to 40
I was about to order these but was little bit skeptical as the torquing specs was much lower than what’s given in the manual.Thank you for clearing my doubt.I truly appreciate.Will definitely go with Ti bolts now.View attachment 1669501
i tried some of these from pro bolt but they keep splitting. i torqued them to pro bolts recommend specs and every single one slowly developed a crack. i switched to Ti and no issues since.
Even I want Ti bolts but the problem is that the colour I want (wine red) is only available in aluminium bolt.Ti bolts are only available in purple,gold,black and rainbow.Only because of the colour I was inclined towards buying aluminium ones but now will definitely by Ti as the torquing specs says ’as recommended by manufacturer’. Thank you for the reply.I truly appreciate.Ti is the way to go.....and they are inexpensive.
I guess the steel bolts will also do the job.Damn I better check my previous orders and make sure they are titanium. Maybe I got steel bolts...
Thank you for all the information shared. Never knew of such technicality.This info will be of great use for me in future.I truly appreciate.The torque spec is lower because of the materials, titanium fasteners that go into aluminum and steel threads...which can cause gauling, when 2 different metals meet and can bind together.
Similiar principle when using anti-sieze, especially on stainless steel, where the torque rating must be reduced by 10%, otherwise the smoothness of the assembly can make it easier to over torque.
And, given the strength of titanium, a ti fastener can easily strip threads made of other materials.
If you are still concerned about a fastener vibrating loose, especially from a lower torque rating, then medium thread-locker is a good idea, just be aware of location, as certain fasteners should not get thread-locker or anti-sieze, like cylinder head bolts.
Most fasteners are fine to use either, but check if you are not sure.
