hi there
im about to give my rm's a rebuild,

and was wondering if it is 100% necessary to use new bolts when putting the two halves of the wheels back together.

i have heard stories in the past of the bolts streaching and eventually snapping etc. is this true?

as i dont want to waste £120 on new bolts if i dont need them.

any help or info would be much appreciated.

thanks

Bin the old ones. The only problem you will find is that they go rusty.  :angry:

Stainless all the way.

Titianium touch.de sells them.
