I need some help buying bolts for my aerobars, from someone smarter than me who understands metals’ strengths.
I know that I need 75mm M6 button head bolts, but the advice I need is on the material. Looking online (McMaster) I see different varieties of stainless steel, steel alloy, and titanium.
Although I’d love the weight savings of titanium, I feel like with a bolt this long, it is too much a risk to stress a ti bolt. So, most importantly, I want a bolt that is corrosive resistant and strong.
