Pretty much all the bolts and fittings on my new bike are a bit furry or corroded (and occasionally missing altogether)
I am minded to replace almost all of them as I want to get the bike back to or at least near to 'as new' condition by the time the project is complete.
There are bolt / fitting kits out there but I just wondered what others had used and if there is any particular make / supplier you would recommend?

Stainless and aluminium don't play nice if I'm not mistaken but maybe it's not a big deal in reality

I have always avoided Pro Bolt as I think their prices are totally rip off. However, when I got my carbon wheels I thought I would get some nice shiny stainless disc bolts to do a proper job.
Looked lovely, until I realised the speedo didnt work anymore
So now I have 2 sets of wheels each with one disc held on with stainless bolts and the other (speedo side) held on with OEM shitty bolts.

although luke is right about the price , the pro bolt kit is pretty decent..
