Stainless / Titanium Bolt Kits

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.

That's good to know, save me doing the exact same thing!

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